Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot "B" 12 Year

Side by side with Weller 12, flavor profile very similar except Pappy is more herbal and drier. But both syrup vanilla and caramel.

What’s in this stuff? Without question, one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. It takes the 10 yr and dials it up to 10. If you ever see a bottle, for the love of how but it.

Heavier aftertaste than expected with a wheated. Notes of caramel and oak. To be honest, it’s quite a distance from Pappy and would choose a Weller Antique over this. Lives more on its name than its merits.

Low heat. Oak. Caramel. Not as good as the 10 year, IMO.
