Very Olde St. Nick Files Three New Kentucky Bourbons: Superfreak Lot 2, After Breakfast & It's Good to Be Queen

Preservation Distillery — Bardstown's self-described smallest distillery, operating under the Very Olde St. Nick brand — just sent three new Kentucky bourbons through the TTB label-approval process on the same day. All are micro-batch (1–3 barrel) bottlings sourced from undisclosed vintage casks, and all three carry a provisional 80 proof on the COLA filing; given the brand's history of cask-strength releases (the previous Superfreak came in at 116.2 proof), treat that figure as a placeholder until an official release confirms final strength.

Very Olde St. Nick "Superfreak" Lot 2 — 10-Year Kentucky Bourbon

The Superfreak name returns for a second lot, now carrying a stated 10-year age rather than the "11+" of the original. The back label doubles down on the positioning that made the first release a cult object: "Always 1–3 Barrel Batches," "Rare," and copy that frames the whiskey as a collector-grade oddity "almost nothing like it in the Bourbon Jungle." The previous Superfreak — a blend of two 11-year barrels and one 18-year barrel, bottled at cask strength 116.2 proof — drew serious collector interest, so Lot 2 will be closely watched. The COLA lists ~80 proof, but that number is almost certainly a COLA placeholder; expect something far bolder if Preservation's track record holds.

Very Olde St. Nick "After Breakfast" — 17-Year Kentucky Bourbon

At 17 years old, this is the most aged bottle in this trio and appears to be an entirely new expression — no prior release under this name has surfaced. Subtitled "For the Bourbon O.G.s" and themed around patience ("Youth is Not Our Friend"), it leans into Preservation's signature long-maturation philosophy. The back label carries an individual bottle number field (shown as a template placeholder "123/001"), confirming single-bottle numbering — expect very limited quantities. "Vintage Casks Aged and Bottled by: Olde St. Nick Distillery, 426 Sutherland Road, Bardstown, Kentucky" puts provenance squarely on the house's sourced vintage stock, though the originating distillery is not disclosed, consistent with the brand's longstanding practice. The filed proof of ~80 proof should be taken as provisional.

Very Olde St. Nick "It's Good to Be Queen" — 10-Year Kentucky Bourbon

The third filing is branded with the tagline "Pride Love Drama" and is the most expressive of the bunch. The back label explicitly describes the whiskey as unfiltered — a concrete, label-confirmed production note — and calls out rich caramel, deep warmth, and a "long, delectable finish." Like the rest of the VOSN lineup it's sourced from vintage casks hand-selected and bottled at Olde St. Nick Distillery in Bardstown. The expression appears new with no prior release found under this name. At 10 years it shares its age statement with Superfreak Lot 2, but the unfiltered call-out and flamboyant branding signal a distinct positioning within the lineup.

All three approvals came on the same day, suggesting a coordinated upcoming drop. No release date or pricing has been announced; as COLA filings precede but do not guarantee a release, watch preservationdistillery.com for any official announcement.
