NV Old Man Winter "Bourbon From The Black Hills" Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Old Man Winter "Bourbon From The Black Hills" Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Old Man Winter From the Black Hills is just about the longest name for any bourbon out there and the history of the brand is nearly as long. Founded many decades ago by Allied Lomar, the owners of modern day Preservation Distillery, the brand was only sold in Japan until recently. It was sourced originally from the Old Commonwealth Distillery via Julian Van Winkle's bottling operation before moving to Bardstown and working closely with the Willett family to source and bottle old bourbon and rye. Old Man Winter has now been revitalized as a yearly release from Preservation's oldest stocks. This marriage of bourbon whiskies from Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee was hand-selected and blended in tiny batches of 3-5 barrels. Tennessee bourbon may infact not be included in this particular batch as the back label is unclear as to the actual source, but states prominently KY - IN and no obvious TN character is present in this particular bottling. It was bottled at a wonderful 109.8 proof and offering everything you want in a well-matured bourbon, there's no question that this stuff is excellent quality. The orignal MSRP of nearly $200 likely reflects the age, rarity and re-acquisition cost of similarly barrels, but our price reflects a one time only deal due to a distribution change rather than any question about the quality of these stocks. There's no doubt that at $100+ off suggested retail, there's simply no better time to buy this great looking, great tasting bourbon.
