Very Olde St. Nick Immaculata Bourbon Whiskey

Very Olde St. Nick Immaculata Bourbon Whiskey hails from Kentucky, renowned for its rich tradition in bourbon-making. With an impressive ABV of 59.05% (118.1 proof), this expression delivers a robust and complex experience. The nose opens with deep caramel, dark cocoa, and a pot de crème-like aroma, enhanced by the presence of dates and figs. There is also a subtle touch of vanilla, stone fruit, citrus, and light baking spices, balancing the high-proof character with a refined profile.

On the palate, the whiskey presents a burst of ginger, paprika, and clove, followed by a smooth caramel apple flavor that evolves into earthy sorrel notes. The rich complexity is supported by a foundation of grain, which remains noticeable throughout. This bourbon's mouthfeel is chewy and full-bodied, as a caravan of spices and oak develops alongside a distinctive pipe smoke flavor. These layers of flavors come together in a dynamic, yet controlled, tasting experience.

The finish is a seamless continuation of the whiskey’s earlier notes, with the fruit and baking spices giving way to a lingering finish that transitions into caramel and oak. Its high proof is well-mannered, allowing the vibrant flavors to shine through without overpowering the senses. Ideal for savoring neat or with a touch of water to unlock further depths.
