The Straight Outta Bardstown series sits within that tradition: small-production bourbon drawn from Kentucky stock and bottled in micro-batches, often from just a handful of barrels at a time, which gives each release its own individual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 11-year expression is bottled uncut at 128.2 proof (64.1% ABV), putting it firmly in serious-sipper territory. The combination of mature age, barrel strength, and the scarcity that defines every Very Olde St. Nick release makes it a natural target for collectors.
