Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak Bourbon Private Selection 'Why So Serious?' | Purple Wax

Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak “Why So Serious?” is a limited private-selection bourbon associated with the brand’s rare and distinctive whiskey releases. Its expected profile centers on rich caramel, dark brown sugar, vanilla, and mature oak, complemented by baking spices and dried-fruit notes. The Superfreak name is associated with carefully selected whiskey stocks and bold, barrel-driven character. The exact age, blend composition, and bottling strength of this purple-wax selection could not be reliably verified, so details from other Superfreak bottlings should not be assumed to apply.

Distillery Information

Very Olde St. Nick is a small-lot American whiskey brand founded by Marci Palatella in 1986, initially known for sourcing rare and mature whiskey stocks for discerning enthusiasts. The brand developed a reputation for unusual bottlings, limited quantities, and distinctive presentation. Preservation Distillery, established by Palatella in Bardstown, Kentucky, later provided a home for renewed whiskey production and the continuation of the brand’s legacy. Today, the operation combines carefully selected whiskey stocks with its own distilling program, maintaining a focus on small releases and the individual character of each whiskey.
