The Very Olde St. Nick brand was designed for the export market only. It was originally supplied by Julian Van Winkle III (of Pappy fame) and then shifted over to Even Kulsveen (Willett). These were all bottled in the early to mid 2000s.
The nose is spicy in an Armagnac like way with some wine notes. The palate is sweet with milk chocolate and the finish is very sweet. This one started with a very complex nose, but then got simpler and simpler. It's good but I was disappointed that the spice on the nose didn't show through more on the palate and finish to counter the sweetness.
Note: The Very Olde St. Nick line was sampled swiftly during a busy tasting. To add to the difficulty, they were all simple and boring making notes difficult. The ratings were easily placed, however.
