Very Olde St. Nick Nine Summers Old Cask Lot No. R165 Handmade 101 Proof Creamy Wax Sealed Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 50.5% Vol. - extremely rare bottling of a outstanding rye whiskey for the Japanese market!
This exceptional and very rare 9 year old handmade Kentucky Straigth Rye Whiskey with the creamy wax capsule and a beautiful dark amber color comes from the limited Rye series and was bottled from Cask Lot number R165 without addition of dyes and chill filtration at 101 proof / 50.5% vol. This extraordinary bottling was produced in the early 1980s and is one of the rare bottlings from the extraordinary series of first-class bourbon and rye whiskeys from the Olde St. Nick Distillery in Bardstown.
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.
Of this extraordinary Rye whiskey, only a few have found their way to Europe and even at the special auctions of Bonhams, Krüger and Christies this rare old Bourbon was almost impossible to find. A special piece of whiskey history and particularly rare item for collectors and connoisseurs of first-class Rye whiskeys!
