Olde St. Nick Distilling is preparing to showcase one of its boldest and most collectible releases yet with Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak 10 Year Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey. This rare expression highlights the distillery’s reputation for crafting small‑batch, long‑aged Kentucky bourbon with deep character, rich barrel influence, and a premium presentation aimed at serious whiskey enthusiasts and collectors.

Clocking in at a powerful 51.35% ABV, Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak delivers a full‑bodied, high‑proof bourbon experience that emphasizes classic Kentucky craftsmanship. The 10‑year age statement signals a decade of slow maturation, allowing the whiskey to develop layers of oak, caramel, spice, and vanilla while maintaining the signature smoothness Olde St. Nick is known for. This release stands out not only for its age and proof, but also for its impressive 2.0‑liter format, making it a true centerpiece bottle for bourbon fans who appreciate limited‑edition, oversized whiskey offerings.

With its combination of Kentucky heritage, long aging, high proof, and collector‑focused packaging, Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak 10 Year Bourbon is positioned to be one of the most talked‑about premium bourbon releases of the year. Expect strong interest from enthusiasts seeking rare, high‑quality Kentucky bourbon whiskey with a distinctive identity and a bold flavor profile.


About Olde St. Nick Distilling:


Olde St. Nick Distilling, primarily known for the Very Olde St. Nick (VOSN) brand, is a cult-status whiskey producer currently operating out of Preservation Distillery + Farm in Bardstown, Kentucky. Founded in 1986 by Marci Palatella, the brand built its reputation by sourcing and bottling rare, long-aged bourbon and rye whiskies, originally almost exclusively for the Japanese export market.

History and Origins\
The brand’s history is steeped in “whiskey lore” due to its early associations with legendary Kentucky figures.
Early Bottling: In the 1980s, Marci Palatella collaborated with Julian Van Winkle III, who bottled the first releases at the Old Commonwealth facility in Lawrenceburg, KY.
Transition to Willett: When Van Winkle’s older stocks ran low, production moved to the Willett Distillery (Kentucky Bourbon Distillers) under Even Kulsveen, where much of the whiskey was sourced from Heaven Hill.
Modern Era: In 2018, Palatella’s company, Allied Lomar, opened Preservation Distillery, providing the brand with its own physical home for the first time.  

Production and Distilling
The brand is distinguished by its unconventional, small-batch approach.
Micro-Batching: Most releases are produced in extremely limited runs of only 1 to 3 barrels.
Sourcing and Aging: While Preservation now distills its own spirit using a small pot still, current Very Olde St. Nick releases typically feature vintage sourced stocks, some of which were “tanked” (stored in stainless steel) years ago to stop the aging process at its peak.
Signature Style: Bottles are easily identified by their tall, slender shapes, hand-designed labels, and hand-dipped wax tops.  

Notable Releases
Very Olde St. Nick is known for high-proof, “flavor-forward” expressions that often command premium prices.
Very Olde St. Nick “Immaculata” Ancient Cask Bourbon: A blend of whiskies aged up to 15 years, bottled at cask strength (typically around 118.1 proof).
Very Olde St. Nick 8 Year Old Rye: A “legendary” rye expression, with some versions sourced from Alberta Distillers for the Japanese market.
Very Olde St. Nick “The O.G.” 17 Year: A highly sought-after 17-year-old bourbon, often rumored to contain old Stitzel-Weller stocks.
Distillery-Only Editions: Recent releases like “Notorious O.S.N.” (16-year blend) and “Straight Outta Bardstown” (9-year bourbon at 130+ proof) are often sold exclusively at the Bardstown distillery.  

Visitor Experience
Located on a 40-acre former tobacco farm, Preservation Distillery + Farm is the first official craft distillery in Nelson County. Visitors can book tours and tastings that frequently include rare or vintage pours not available in standard retail channels.
