Expect a bold, oak-forward profile with layers of caramel, vanilla, baking spices, and dried fruit. The 19-year base provides deep wood tannins while the wheated component adds sweetness and the high-rye portion contributes spice complexity.
How does this compare to other Very Olde St. Nick releases?
This Immaculata release represents one of the most complex Very Olde St. Nick expressions, with the multi-aged blend and cask strength format delivering more intensity and layered flavors than their standard bottlings. The 19-year base component places this among their premium tier offerings.
