Very Olde St Nick Summer Rye

Very Olde St Nick was a bourbon brand designed for the Japanese export market.

The whisky has been widely connected with many of the Bardstown distilleries during different periods and for different reasons, though none have ever confirmed their supply to this brand.  If rumours are to be believed however, the old rye whiskeys bottled under this brand are suspected to be linked to either the former Bernheim or Medley distilleries.

This Summer Rye whiskey is a rarity indeed.  Cask lot number F10.

Please note the crack on the wax seal.
