Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask Immaculata 2026 Bourbon

Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask Immaculata 2026 Bourbon

Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask Immaculata 2026 is a cask-strength Kentucky bourbon bottled at 118.1 proof from a 13-barrel batch — a blend of a 19-year Kentucky bourbon base with 8-year wheated pot-distilled bourbon and 10-year high-rye Kentucky bourbon, released through Preservation Distillery in Bardstown.

Very Olde St. Nick built its reputation on sourcing exceptional aged bourbon stocks and bottling them as memorable limited releases. The Immaculata 2026 reflects that approach: a multi-aged blend that pairs the deep oak and tannin of a 19-year base with the rounded sweetness of a wheated component and the spice backbone of a high-rye component, presented unfiltered at full cask strength. With only 13 barrels in the batch, it sits among the brand's rarer recent expressions.
