Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak 11+ Year Kentucky Bourbon is a limited-release blend from Preservation Distillery — combining two 11-year-old Kentucky bourbons with a single deeply matured 18-year-old barrel, bottled at 116.2 proof (58.1% ABV), producing the rich full-bodied character of an expression that drinks significantly older than its stated age floor suggests.
Preservation Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky operates the Very Olde St. Nick label as a small-batch, aged Kentucky bourbon program focused on extended maturation and blend quality rather than high volume. The Superfreak concept specifically targets the combination of mature mid-aged bourbon (the two 11-year barrels) with the concentrated, heavily integrated character of the 18-year barrel — using the older barrel as a depth and complexity driver rather than the primary component. The 116.2 proof reflects the full natural barrel strength without reduction, maximizing the flavor concentration the extended aging has built. Dark caramel, toasted pecan, burnt orange, and dark chocolate on the nose reflect the oldest barrel’s contribution; the 11-year components maintain freshness and integration to prevent the finish from becoming overly woody.
Tasting Notes

- Palate: Full-bodied — burnt orange, root beer, dark fruit, and robust oak spice
- Finish: Long and rich — leather, dark chocolate, and deeply toasted oak sustained through a powerful close
