Very Olde St Nick (VOSN) was the very first brand to take quirky, odd lot barrels of whatever they could find that was good. It wasnt long ago that no one really wanted old barrels of whiskey, besides the international market VOSN was now appealing to. The barrels of rye whiskey for this release were selected before the heat of the summer could get an even larger angles share. From that came the name Summer Rye, a play-off of Samurai. This barrel-proof expression is bottled at 116.6 proof

Proof 115.7
