Very Olde St. Nick After Breakfast 17 Year Kentucky Bourbon 375ml 125.2 Proof

Very Olde St. Nick After Breakfast — a 17-year Kentucky bourbon bottled at 125.2 proof in the brand's slender 375ml bottle, and one of the more elusive releases in the St. Nick catalogue.

The label carries the gilded St. Nick figure against pale blue, the "After Breakfast" designation, a 17 Years Old age statement, a "For the Bourbon OGs" banner across the front, and the Shared Friendship & Community emblem marked Established 1986 at the base.

According to the source, the whiskey is a marriage of 17, 19 and 21-year-old Kentucky bourbons, with the 17-year statement reflecting the youngest component rather than the whole — and the bottling was never offered for general sale. Neither the blend composition nor the distribution history appears on the label, so both come from the supplier rather than from Very Olde St. Nick.

What is on the bottle is the part that matters most: a 17-year minimum age statement at 62.6% ABV, in 375ml, from a brand whose long-aged bottlings are followed closely and traded quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the 17-year statement describe all the whiskey inside? An age statement always names the youngest whiskey in the bottle — that's how the rules work, for every producer. The supplier describes After Breakfast as a marriage of 17, 19 and 21-year bourbons, which would make 17 the floor rather than the average. That composition isn't printed on the label, so treat it as supplier information rather than a producer claim.
• Why is Very Olde St. Nick bottled in 375ml so often? Long-aged stock is finite and heavily depleted by evaporation, and the half-bottle format lets a very small quantity of mature whiskey reach more people. Most of the brand's 17-year and older releases use it, which is why the 375ml St. Nicks sit at prices that look unusual next to their size.
• What does "For the Bourbon OGs" mean? It's printed on the front label banner, beneath the St. Nick figure. Very Olde St. Nick gives individual releases their own names and marks — After Breakfast, Nirvana, True Religion, Unicorn Cask — rather than running a numbered series, which is a large part of why collectors track them bottle by bottle.
