Very Olde St. Nick 'Immaculata' Ancient Cask Bourbon Whiskey

Very Olde St. Nick is the flagship label of Preservation Distillery + Farm in Bardstown, Kentucky, a sourced-whiskey bottler that also runs its own pot still, and Immaculata sits at the top of the Ancient Cask series. The bourbon is sourced, with the bottle stating a product of Kentucky and Indiana, and Preservation's releases are typically built from just a couple of barrels at a time, so each lot is small and each one differs. This bottling was drawn from 15-year-old bourbon barrels, with the brand describing the Ancient Cask Immaculata as made from casks 8 to 15 years old, and bottled at 118.1 proof (59.05% ABV), uncut. Drinkhacker's Christopher Null rated it an A-, finding a boldly minty nose with heavy char, smoked barbecue, red and black pepper, toasted nuts, and an oak note that builds in the glass, then raisin, dried fig, and dark chocolate on the palate followed by spice, pepper, and a leathery edge into a punchy, well-charred, long finish; a splash of water pulled out toasted coconut, more fruit, and blackberry. It's an old, high-proof, barrel-forward Kentucky bourbon released in very limited numbers.
