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.

Ardbeg Uigeadail

Uigedail is the name of the loch which feeds Ardbeg distillery. Uigedail has become a much loved whisky, having gained recognition in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible winning ‘World Whisky of the Year’ in 2009.

The Ardberg Distillery lies on the most Southernly part of Islay and on the rugged shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Ardberg is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex whisky of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat: rather the peat gives way to the malt, the natural sweetness of which subtly intrudes, producing perfect balance.
