The David Nicholson 1843 is a wheated whiskey with a gentle, earthy profile sweetened by caramel and cinnamon.

The wheated nature of the David Nicholson 1843 is evident on the nose with an earthy quality coming to the fore, flanked by gentle oak and caramel notes.

Caramel dominates a smooth and gentle palate, kept awake by warming baking spices. Cinnamon leads the baking spices out before toasted oak closes the show, dominating a lingering finish.

It can be hard to come by so grab it when it's available!

David Nicholson bourbon is named after its creator, a man who would distill whiskey in the backroom of his grocery store in St. Louis, beginning production in 1843. Fifty years later, a legend of the bourbon industry, Julian ‘Pappy’ Van Winkle, began working with Nicholson, distilling the 1843 recipe at the A. Ph Stitzel Distillery.

In 2000, the David Nicholson 1843 recipe was bought from the Van Winkle family by Luxco. The whiskey is now being distilled at the Lux Row Distillery in Bardstown.
