Very Olde St. Nick 17 Year (After Breakfast) Kentucky Bourbon

Very Olde St. Nick After Breakfast — a 17-year Kentucky bourbon bottled at 125.2 proof in the brand's slender 375ml bottle, and one of the more elusive releases in the St. Nick catalogue. The label carries the gilded St. Nick figure against pale blue, the "After Breakfast" designation, a 17 Years Old age statement, a "For the Bourbon OGs" banner across the front, and the Shared Friendship & Community emblem marked Established 1986 at the base. According to the source, the whiskey is a marriage of 17, 19 and 21-year-old Kentucky bourbons, with the 17-year statement reflecting the youngest component rather than the whole — and the bottling was never offered for general sale. Neither the blend composition nor the distribution history appears on the label, so both come from the supplier rather than from Very Olde St. Nick. What is on the bottle is the part that matters most: a 17-year minimum age statement at 62.6% ABV, in 375ml, from a brand whose long-aged bottlings are followed closely and traded quickly.
