Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year Old "Lot B" 2025 Release

Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year Old Lot B 2025 Release sits at the heart of the Van Winkle collection, a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon made in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery. Aged for 12 years and bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), it is often considered the ideal balance of age and strength, offering a softer, rounded profile with the depth and richness that collectors expect from the Van Winkle name.

In the glass, it shows brilliant amber colour with aromas of caramel, vanilla and toasted oak, lifted by notes of dried fruit and gentle baking spice. The palate is velvety and medium‑bodied, combining flavours of butterscotch, honey, dried stone fruit and warm spice, with a long, mellow finish where toffee and oak linger. This highly allocated 2025 release was offered in extremely limited quantities at Blenheim Vintners and will particularly appeal to enthusiasts of rare wheated bourbon and the wider Pappy Van Winkle family.
