One of the few old bottlings of this extraordinary series of exquisite old bourbon and rye whiskeys from the Olde St. Nick Distillery in Bardstown still in existence today, which was probably produced in the late 1980s by Willett or Kentucky Bourbon Distillers at the Stitzel-Weller distillery in Lawrenceburg or the old Heaven Hill distillery.
Very Olde St. Nick is a whiskey label under which bottlings from Julian Van Winkle and Willett were bottled and marketed exclusively for the Japanese export market in the early 2000s. At that time, the Japanese market was much more interested in rare and old bourbon and rye whiskeys and the demand was greater than in the USA. These old bourbon and rye whiskeys all came from the same sources as the legendary old Willett, Black Maple Hill and Stitzel Weller bottlings from this period.
In response to a question about Very Olde St. Nick, Julian Van Winkle gave the following answer on Straight Bourbon in the year 2000: Olde St. Nick was bottled by Even Kulsveen in Bardstown. He buys his whisky from Heaven Hill. The label was created by a lady in California a few years ago who sells my whisky in Japan. I used to actually bottle these whiskeys for her and they were shipped to Japan. But years ago I didn't have as much older whiskey as I needed, so she switched to Evan Kulsveen, who had the Heaven Hill supply.
Of this extraordinary many Summer old Very Olde St. Nick Kentucky Straigth Rye Whiskey, only a few have found their way to Europe and even at the special auctions of Bonhams, Krüger and Christies this bourbon was rarely found. A special piece of whiskey history and extremely rare collector's whiskey for lovers and connoisseurs of outstanding and old Rye whiskeys!
