Van Winkle 12 Years Old Lot B Early 1992-1993 Green Glass Lawrenceburg

12 years. Lot B. Early 1992–1993. Green glass. Van Winkle 12 Year Lot B — an early-1990s bottling of the wheated Van Winkle 12 Year in the green glass format, from the Lawrenceburg-era production that predates the modern Pappy Van Winkle brand's current allocation status. The green glass and early-1990s bottling window are the key collector markers for this expression.

Lot B is the 12-year tier of the Van Winkle Family Reserve lineup — a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon using wheat rather than rye as the secondary grain, the same mash bill philosophy that defines the entire Van Winkle range. The early 1992–1993 green glass bottling captures the program before the bourbon revival transformed Van Winkle into the most sought-after name in American whiskey, when these bottles circulated without allocation systems.
