002703 welcome everybody to another whiskey quickie and today take a look at something special.

Now, some people might call it a unicorn bottle because they actually had a unicorn release

at one time, but this is coming from preservation distillery, and this is part of

their very old St. Nick series. Sorry, very old St. Nick series. Now, this is the 17-year-old

release called the OG. Now, let's give some, a little bit of history on it, because we've actually

reviewed very old St. Nick on a whiskey quickie before. Definitely wasn't this. It was just part of

their other sourced offerings when they were, you know, they had a long history of exporting stuff

out of Japan and that's kind of what kept this brand alive for a very, very long time. They were

bottled at one point at a part of KBD, which is Willett. So they have a long history behind these brands. So here is

some of the information I can dig up just on this particular bottling. So supposedly Marcy

Palatella, who is the owner of the brand as well as preservation distillery, she was buying

stella wellard barrels way back in the day and bottling them under very old St. Nick in the 90s and shipping them off to Japanese markets.

And there are claims that have something, of course, that this was coming from a tanked offering, and they've had this juice tanked from Stittzo Weller for around 20 years, which is kind of crazy to think because the way that Kentucky

works is that you have to pay taxes every year on aging spirits. So who knows if they were paying

taxes on this for 20 years or if it was vatted, do you not have to pay tax? Like, I have no idea.

That's for the accountants to figure out. Yeah, exactly. But this is again a 17-year release, cask strength at 108.3 proof.

This is a barrel lot a 1, and the price for this particular bottle is $600 for a 375.

Mm-hmm.
