Van Winkle, Special Reserve, Lot "B", 12 years old, 2015

Value $2,199

2015 Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year:

This is a rare opportunity to bid on a bottle of 2015 Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year, the legendary and incredibly hard-to-find Pappy Van Winkle line of wheated bourbons and one rye. This bottle is produced by Buffalo Trace and is a must-have for any bourbon collector.

The Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year is one of the few wheated bourbons on the market and is widely regarded as one of the finest bourbon whiskeys.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to add this legendary bottle to your collection.

Since this is a "Pappy" product, obtaining this at a "reasonable" price is difficult given the insane demand and once-a-year release. As a result, it sells out immediately, sold via lottery, or at exceedingly high markups.

If you were lucky enough to find it in a store in 2015 the retail price was $70. Today it sells for $2,199 or more-if you can find it!

Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Years Lot B offers a complex and balanced flavor profile with a smooth finish. The caramel, dark fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, oak, and citrus combine to create a unique and delicious whiskey. The finish is medium-short, leaving a sweet and satisfying aftertaste of vanilla, dark fruit, caramel, and citrus. Enjoy this rare and exceptional whiskey!

Thank you to Justin and Molly Cook P'26,'28, TR for this generous donation!
