- Description
- Very Olde St Nick's Summer Rye, revived from a brand originally made for the Japanese market, balances dried herbs and fennel with toasted oak and earthy undertones at 40.5% ABV. The lighter proof emphasises the herbal and aromatic qualities over aggressive spice, creating an approachable entry point to straight rye whiskey. This suits warm-weather drinking and cocktails where its subtle character won't be overwhelmed by other ingredients.
