- Is Very Olde St. Nick Antique Barrel 12 Year a Kentucky bourbon?
- It is a bourbon-style American whiskey sourced from Kentucky distilleries and bottled under the Very Olde St. Nick label. The brand does not distill it itself.
- What does single batch, Lot 33 mean?
- It means the whiskey was bottled in a small, numbered run rather than a continuous production line. Each lot can differ slightly in flavor from the next.
- How does it compare with other 12-year bourbons?
