Very Olde St. Nick Immaculata Ancient Cask, 59.05%,
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
From Preservation Distillery, a 40-acre estate in Bardstown that distills on a pot still and also specializes in aging sourced whiskeys. Honeyed and fruity on the nose, herb garden, honeysuckle, cinnamon, apple orchard, and aged oak. The palate offers chocolate, strawberry jam, herbs, cinnamon-sprinkled French toast, figs, espresso beans, and pepper. The finish is long and spiced, with toasted hazelnuts, coffee, banana, creamy chocolate, cigar wrapper, and pleasant wood spice.
