Bourbon Whiskey·More from Very Old Saint Nick

Very Olde St Nick 17 Year Lost Barrel

17 years. 108.3 proof. Lot 2. Very Olde St. Nick Lost Barrel — the second lot of the Lost Barrel 17 Year series, a 375ml expression from one of the most storied names in ultra-aged Kentucky bourbon. Very Olde St. Nick is the brand associated with Julian Van Winkle Jr. and the extended Van Winkle family's spirits legacy — predating even Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve in the Van Winkle program's history. The Lost Barrel series draws on ultra-aged Kentucky bourbon inventory, presenting 17-year spirit in a 375ml half-bottle format at a proof level that lets the full maturity of the whiskey express without cask-strength intensity masking the subtler notes. At 17 years, this bourbon is in the same ultra-aged tier as Heaven Hill's William Heavenhill 17yr and the Elijah Craig vintage single barrels — spirit that has been developing since before the modern bourbon revival began in earnest.
