Very Olde St. Nick Summer Rye Lot A12 Proof 86 handmade Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 43.0% ABV - extremely rare bottling of a outstanding old style Rye whiskey for the Japanese market!
An exceptional and rare Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, about which there are many myths and rumors. Very Olde St. Nick is a whiskey label that was bottled by Julian Van Winkle and Kentucky Bourbon Distillers exclusively for the Japanese export market back in the early 2000s. Back then, the Japanese market was much more interested in super-aged bourbons than the the American market. These bourbons and ryes likely came from some of the same sources that went into the legendary Willett and Black Maple Hill bottlings from that era. The ryes are most likely to be from the old Bernheim or Medley distilleries, the bourbons could be from any number of sources. These are extremely rare. Even in Japan, they haven t been available for years, except for the occasional dusty.
In response to a question about Very Olde St. Nick this post found from Julian Van Winkle in 2000 on Straight Bourbon: Olde St. Nick is bottled in Bardstown by Evan Kulsvein. He buys his whiskey from Heaven Hill. This label was ceated by a lady in CA some years ago who sells my whiskey in Japan. I actually used to bottle this whiskey for her, and she would ship to Japan. Years ago, I did not have much older whiskey, so she switched to Evan who had the Heaven Hill supply. A special piece of Whiskey History and rare collector s item for connoisseurs!
