Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book
"Van winkle wheated Bourbons, especially the younger ones have an orange note, as if each bottle contains a few dropos of Cointreau liqueur. Lot B has that and all of the other wheated Bourbon attributes in ideal harmony and balance. The whisky is close to perfect."
Anything with the Van Winkle name is highly prized amongst Bourbon aficionados and super rare with an equally super price tag!
Perfectly poised and reminds me of drinking fine and old Armagnac, less sweet than most Bourbons and very well balanced oak, spice and fruit.
