Very Olde St. Nick Lost Barrel 17 Year Old Rare Bourbon Lot 3 108.51 Proof 375ml
Very Olde St. Nick Lost Barrel 17 Year Old Rare Bourbon Lot 3 — 108.51 proof, 375ml. A 17-year Kentucky straight bourbon from the Van Winkle family legacy program, distilled in the early 1980s and presenting extended-age wheated bourbon character in the half-bottle format.
The 'Lost Barrel' designation in the Very Olde St. Nick lineup identifies expressions drawn from aged stocks that were set aside during the Van Winkle family's operational tenure — barrels that 'got lost' in the aging inventory and were rediscovered after extended maturation beyond their intended release window. At 17 years from an early 1980s distillation, this represents wheated Kentucky bourbon aged well beyond the standard commercial release timeline for the era.
Lot 3 at 108.51 proof is in the more approachable range of Very Olde St. Nick expressions — well below the 127.2-proof True Religion or the higher-proof expressions in the collection. The 375ml format is the standard half-bottle presentation for VOSN named expressions.
