What is Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Lot B worth?

Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year, known as Lot B, keeps its value because it sits in the middle of the Van Winkle lineup and is just as hard to find as the older bottles. It's a wheated bourbon aged twelve years and bottled at 90.4 proof, made at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky. It is released once a year in the fall, and many collectors chase it to round out a full Van Winkle set.

What your bottle is worth depends mostly on condition. A sealed bottle with the capsule and any tax strip intact, a full fill line, a clean label and a sound cork brings the most. Label wear, stains or a low fill lower the offer. The release year can matter too, so send a clear photo of the back label.

Our typical offer for a sealed, full Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Lot B is $325 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
