Van Winkle Special Reserve Bourbon Lot B 12 Year Old Bourbon Lawrenceburg Green Glass 1990s- First Release of Lot B

The 12 year old Special Reserve brand was first bottled by Julian Van Winkle III at his facility in Lawrenceburg in the early 1990s, using 1979 vintage Stitzel-Weller bourbon. The first was a one-time release called Lot A. This is the subsequent and inaugural release of the Lot B, bottled shortly thereafter. Van Winkle then continued to produce Lot B (but with the newer label we are more familiar with today), using Stitzel-Weller whiskey until stocks began to run thin in the early 2000s. 

The older releases, bottled by Van Winkle at the Old Commonwealth distillery are incredibly sought after.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is paramount to our business. We source our products exclusively from reputable, licensed importers, distributors, wine brokers, and world-renowned auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. We also acquire bottles from select private collections where clear and documented provenance is provided, ensuring a verifiable history for our finest items.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU. Any significant condition issues, such as low ullage or bin-stained labels, will be clearly noted in the product description. We are happy to provide additional high-resolution images upon request-please contact us.

We use premium, industry-standard materials to protect every shipment. Depending on the bottle and destination, we use a combination of insulated foam box inserts, custom-fit air column bags, and heavy-weight cardboard shippers to prevent damage.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
