Description
Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak is an exceptionally limited Kentucky bourbon showcasing some of the mature whiskey stocks behind the cult-favorite Very Olde St. Nick label. This particular Prime Barrel Pick #165 was selected at Preservation Distillery and bottled at a powerful 114.2 proof.
What makes this release particularly interesting is its composition. The selection was created from two 11-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon barrels combined with an 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon, with the older whiskey providing much of the mature character and depth. The exact blending ratios and distillery sources remain undisclosed.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Deep mature oak, Madagascar vanilla and brûléed sugar open into aged cherry preserves, worn leather and rich tobacco.
Palate: Full-bodied and intensely concentrated. Dark caramelized sugar, bourbon-soaked dried cherries and Madagascar vanilla are layered with mature oak, baking spices and subtle toasted sweetness.
Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, leaving lingering notes of tobacco, worn leather, black tea, barrel-aged vanilla and seasoned oak spice.
The Very Olde St. Nick Story
Very Olde St. Nick traces its history to 1986, originally developing a reputation through ultra-aged American whiskey produced largely for the Japanese export market. Over the years, its unusually old stocks, tiny releases and distinctive labels helped make the brand highly sought after among serious bourbon collectors.
Today, the brand is associated with Preservation Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, where carefully sourced mature whiskey stocks are used for extremely limited expressions such as Superfreak.
