Description

The 12 year old Special Reserve is one of the original products bottled by Julian Van Winkle III. He first bottled it in 1991, using 1979 vintage Stitzel-Weller bourbon for a one-time release called 'Lot A.' The subsequent and inaugural release of the Lot B was bottled the same year, and has been a permanent part of the range ever since.
