Description
Preservation Distillery, located in Bardstown, Kentucky, was founded by industry trailblazer Marci Palatella. She entered the spirits business in the 1980s, a time when bourbon and whiskey had fallen out of favor. Capitalizing on the market downturn, Marci acquired forgotten stocks of old whiskey from wholesalers eager to offload inventory. She launched a distribution company and began exporting these rare finds to Europe and Asia. Her early ventures soon evolved—she started bottling whiskey in repurposed wine bottles and creating her own brands. One of her most iconic creations, Olde St. Nick, gained a devoted following in Japan after its debut in the 1980s.
While she became known for expertly sourcing whiskey, Marci eventually turned to distilling her own. In 2015, construction began on Preservation Distillery. Today, the distillery produces its own pot-distilled whiskey under the Preservation name, while also continuing to release artfully sourced and blended expressions under labels such as Wattie Boone, Olde St. Nick, and Cock of the Walk Bourbon.
Taste
Bottled exclusively for Skurnik Wines & Spirits | Barrel B641
Distilled at Preservation Distillery from an undisclosed wheated mash bill (all grains sourced from within 2 miles of the distillery)
Aged 7 years and 6 months in new American oak barrels with heavy toast and undisclosed char levels
Brand Tasting Notes: Dessert in a glass—cereal, marshmallow, and toasted grain all rolled into one. It’s light, airy, and full of charm, but there’s real depth under the sweetness. The finish brings fudge, caramel, and a touch of spice that keeps it grounded. Playful, distinctive, and just flat-out fun to drink.
