Overview

More Info

A rye with a story worth knowing: Very Olde St. Nick is now made at Preservation Distillery in Bardstown, a brand once bottled by the Van Winkle and Willett families. This cask-strength Summer Rye was drawn from barrels dumped before the summer heat, sourced in Tennessee and matured mostly in Kentucky. Expect a lively, spicy rye backbone wrapped in vanilla, honey, and caramel, with a nose that leans toward strawberries and sugar cookies. Pour it neat with a splash of water and let it open.

Tasting notes

Nose: The nose opens with a kick of alcohol, before giving earthy baking spices, white pepper, young rye grain, a touch of dried fruit, deep vegetal notes, and charred oak. As you keep nosing deep caramel and faint fresh strawberry notes also emerge.

Palate: The palate opens viscous with notes of caramelized nuts, warm baking spices, tart green apples, and a wave of peppery spice that washes across the palate and fades to charred oak, dark chocolate, dried red fruits, deep herbaceous notes, and lingering spice.

Finish: The finish opens sweet with some lingering pepper spice from the palate fading to an aftertaste of earthy baking spices and tannic oak that dries up the inside of the cheeks.

Reviewers on Whiskybase and Top Shelf Backpacking call Very Olde St Nick Summer Rye Cask Strength surprisingly mellow at 119 proof, with bright mint, baking spice, caramelized nuts, marshmallow, and a long warming finish of pepper, char, and tobacco. Preservation Distillery's mint-forward standout.
