Pure Antique 22 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey Lot 2

Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 57.9% ABV | 115.8 Proof | 750mL | 22 Years | Lot 2 | Cask Strength | Unfiltered | Extremely Limited Release

Process & Profile

Pure Antique 22 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey Lot 2 is an exceptionally mature American bourbon from Preservation Distillery’s Pure Antique collection, a series built around scarce stocks of long-aged whiskey bottled in extremely small quantities. This specific Lot 2 release carries an extraordinary 22-year age statement and is bottled at 115.8 proof (57.9% ABV).

Pure Antique is known for emphasizing long maturation, unusually low barrel-entry proof in its historic stocks, small-lot blending, and bottling at natural cask strength without filtration. More than two decades in oak give this whiskey a deeply mature profile where concentrated caramelized sweetness, dried fruit, tobacco, spice, and seasoned oak become central to the experience.

The 22 Year expression follows the acclaimed Pure Antique 20 Year release and represents some of the oldest whiskey selected for the modern Pure Antique lineup. Preservation has described these mature stocks as exceptionally scarce, with only a tiny number of barrels reserved for extended aging.

How to Enjoy

Pure Antique 22 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey Lot 2 is best enjoyed neat in a quality whiskey glass. With a bourbon this mature, allow the whiskey at least several minutes to rest after pouring so its dark caramel, dried fruit, tobacco, spice, and deeply developed oak characteristics can open gradually.

At 115.8 proof, a few drops of water can reveal additional sweetness and fruit while softening the intensity of the mature oak and barrel spice. Given its 22-year age statement and extremely limited availability, this is a whiskey particularly suited to slow sipping, milestone occasions, comparative tastings, and serious bourbon collections.
