What Makes Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Worth It

Food Pairing and Occasions

Grilled steak and bourbon make a reliable pairing at the table. Moreover, pecan pie and dark chocolate work beautifully alongside the glass. Holiday gifting is where a bourbon gift bottle earns its keep. At the same time, burgers off the grill suit a casual pour on ice. A housewarming gift rarely lands better than a respected pour. Overall, pair it with Van Winkle 12 Year 90 4 for a side by side tasting.

Where Bourbon Comes From

The new charred oak barrel does most of the heavy lifting here. First, barrel entry proof and warehouse position both shape the final liquid. Kentucky remains the heartland of American whiskey production. For example, straight bourbon spends a minimum of two years in the barrel. Allocation keeps many sought after labels hard to find at retail. Finally, browse the wider whiskey brands collection to compare styles.
