Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask 8 Year Old Rye Whiskey 750ml

Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask 8 year old rye whiskey is a rare bottling of a first-class Canadian rye whiskey released exclusively for the Japanese market.

This legendary rye whiskey was crafted and bottled using crystal clear water, the finest quality ingredients and small premium charred oak barrels, giving it a unique and smooth flavour. This edition of the Ancient Cask 8 Year Old Rye is stupendous. Golden straw in colour and lusciously smooth it's a bit of a dichotomy on the palate. It has tremendous sweetness and weight, but immense rye spice at the same time.

The Old St Nick legend has taken on a life of its own with many claiming inside information, or knowledge about who first developed the product and why, it’s original pedigree, the source of its bourbons, and the story behind the eclectic style. The Very Olde St Nick myth is a reality with a wonderful story…in fact many stories. As many as the infinite miniscule number of releases from this highly prized producer for more than 30 years!! Very Olde St. Nick is a whiskey label that was originally bottled by Julian Van Winkle and Kentucky Bourbon Distillers exclusively for the Japanese export market back in the early 2000s. Back then, the Japanese market was much more interested in aged bourbons and ryes than the the American market.
