Preservation Pot Distilled Cask Strength Rye: The Art of the Pot Still
Rediscover the rich, heavy-bodied character of traditional American whiskey making. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for artisanal and rare spirits, is proud to feature the Preservation Pot Distilled Cask Strength Rye. Produced by Preservation Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky—the team behind legendary labels like Very Olde St. Nick—this release is a masterclass in texture and flavor.
This rye whiskey stands out because it is 100% Pot Distilled. Unlike the more common column still distillation, pot distillation yields a spirit that is heavier, oilier, and incredibly rich in flavor compounds. To further enhance this richness, the distillate entered the barrel at a low 110 proof. This lower entry proof allows for less water dilution and a more concentrated interaction with the wood during aging.
Aged for 7 to 8 years and released in ultra-small 1-3 barrel batches, this whiskey is the definition of "small batch." It is bottled at Cask Strength, ranging between 112 and 118 proof, preserving the full, robust intensity of the pot-distilled rye.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A dense and aromatic bouquet of deep rye spice, worn leather, and dried dark fruits, lifted by notes of burnt sugar and vanilla.
Palate: The pot distillation creates a remarkably thick, viscous mouthfeel. Bold flavors of black pepper, clove, and cinnamon are enveloped in layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and rich caramel.
Finish: Long, powerful, and warming. The finish lingers with intense notes of oak, tobacco, and a savory, spicy rye kick.
