Very Olde St. Nick Immaculata Ancient Cask Bourbon 2026 Release Lot #2

118.2 Proof | Cask Strength | Unfiltered

A remarkable blend that challenges conventional bourbon thinking, Very Olde St. Nick Immaculata 2026 proves that age alone doesn’t define greatness. While the headline may be its inclusion of rare 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon, the true star of this release is Preservation Distillery’s own mature pot-distilled wheated bourbon, showcasing the future of the brand alongside some of the finest vintage stocks in Kentucky.

Immaculata is crafted from a carefully selected blend of Preservation Distillery’s 8-year-old wheated pot-distilled bourbon, a 10-year-old high-rye Kentucky bourbon, and exceptionally mature 18-year-old sourced Kentucky bourbon, resulting in a whiskey that is both deeply complex and remarkably cohesive.

Bottled at 118.2 proof, cask strength and unfiltered, every sip delivers extraordinary richness, texture, and character.

After more than a year of development, over 100 barrel evaluations, and countless blend iterations, Preservation Distillery arrived at a whiskey that perfectly balances vibrant distillate character with the elegance of well-aged bourbon. The result is a full-bodied, luxurious pour that highlights the remarkable evolution of Preservation’s pot-distilled bourbon while drawing added depth and complexity from its vintage components.

Tasting Notes

• Nose — Salted praline, rich butterscotch, vanilla bean, golden raisin, and mature oak.

• Palate — Exceptionally viscous and mouth-coating with notes of horehound candy, root beer, anise, spiced plum, vanilla cream, and baking spices.

• Finish — Long and lingering with layers of mature oak, dark spice, dried fruit, and a subtle medicinal quality that never overwhelms.
