The Very Olde St. Nick brand was designed for the export market only. It was originally supplied by Julian Van Winkle III (of Pappy fame) and then shifted over to Even Kulsveen (Willett). These were all bottled in the early to mid 2000s.
The nose is sweet and slightly soapy. The palate is much more complex then the nose with some savory notes and orange rind and the finish is mild and not too sweet. This is a beefy bourbon which is nicely balanced and not overly sweet. Very nice.
Note: The Very Olde St. Nick line was sampled swiftly during a busy tasting. To add to the difficulty, they were all simple and boring making notes difficult. The ratings were easily placed, however.
