What Makes Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Worth It

Oak maturation drives much of what reaches the glass. For that reason, grain character and barrel character meet in the finish. The style suits slow sipping over fast mixing. Similarly, expect the warmth and depth that good whiskey delivers. By comparison, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 gives you plenty to think about in the glass.

Food Pairing and Occasions

Dark chocolate rounds out the finish. In fact, nuts and dried fruit make an easy tasting plate. Holiday gifting keeps this category busy. Equally, grilled meats and whiskey pair without much effort. Gift shoppers rely on whiskey for milestone moments. Better still, pair it with Van Winkle 12 Year 90 4 for a side by side tasting.

Where Whiskey Comes From

Cask maturation shapes colour, aroma and texture. In practice, limited releases move quickly once collectors notice them. Whiskey collecting has grown steadily across North America. Above all, whiskey takes its character from grain, oak and time. Barrel selection separates one bottling from the next. As a result, browse the wider whiskey brands collection to compare styles.
