Very Olde St. Nick 25 Year 86.4 Proof 750mL is an old-age-statement Kentucky bourbon released under the Very Olde St. Nick label and positioned squarely for collectors of scarce mature American whiskey. Accessible secondary-market references are clearer on age statement, proof and rarity than on producer provenance, so bottle-level verification remains important.
From the Producer
Twenty-five years is an unusual age for Kentucky bourbon. The temperature swings are wide, the barrel gives up a great deal to evaporation, and most casks are flat-out over-oaked well before that point. Very Olde St. Nick built its name on exactly this problem — sourcing and bottling very old Kentucky stock for the Japanese market from the 1980s, when mature barrels were a liability rather than an asset. Bottled at a gentle 86.4 proof rather than at cask strength.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Old oak, caramel, baking spice, dried citrus and antique bourbon sweetness.
- Palate: Mature bourbon character with vanilla, leather, toasted wood and concentrated spice.
- Finish: Long, dry and oak-led, with lingering caramel and seasoned wood.
Best For
Collectors of rare American whiskey, bottle-share tastings focused on mature bourbon and buyers who value age statement and scarcity more than everyday drinkability.
