Very Olde St. Nick is one of the most storied and elusive names in American whiskey — a brand with roots going back to the Wathens, one of Kentucky's oldest distilling families. The Nirvana expression is a 17-year-aged straight bourbon of extraordinary rarity, selected from barrels that have reached a state of near-perfect maturation: the point where age, wood, and spirit converge into something transcendent.
Bottled in a 375ml format, this is a collector's pour — a whiskey meant to be savored slowly and shared with intention. Each bottle represents decades of patience and a lineage of Kentucky craftsmanship that few brands can claim.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Antique oak, dark caramel, dried fig, leather, tobacco, and a deep vanilla undercurrent
Palate: Profound and contemplative — dark chocolate, aged wood, dried cherry, baking spice, and a silky, full-bodied texture that only 17 years in barrel can produce
Finish: Exceptionally long with lingering oak, dark fruit, toffee, and a gentle, warming spice
