Day 12 GRAND FINALE 🎁 Seelbach's 15-Year "Last Call" Batch 004

12 Days of Whiskey is our favorite stretch of the year at Seelbach’s. Every drop is intentional: from unique finds, special releases, and the return of some fan-favorite bottles. For 2025 we think we’ve outdone ourselves. Whether you’re buying for yourself or checking someone off your list, this lineup has something for everyone.
 
We wanted to close the 12 Days of Whiskey with something special. Yesterday's release of Beyke's Blue Double Oaked is one of the best 5 bottles I tried in 2025. Now we're on to a Seelbach's favorite. A 16+ year bourbon in our Seelbach's 15-year label felt like a crazy but best way to wrap things up. This is the fourth batch and will be the final batch. At least for now. We first released the 15-year a year and a half ago. This was our way to combine incredible bourbon with a unique story. It quickly became one of the most popular products on Seelbach's. While we hate to see it go for now, don't worry. We have something in the works for next spring to take its place!

Batch 004 is an 11-barrel blend of a 75/13/12 mash bill distilled in Frankfort, KY. These barrels range in proof from 131.5 to 106 proof. One of these barrels yielded a mere 68 bottles. After years of aging, the angels took more than their fair share. But the bourbon that remained was comparable to a well-reduced sauce. A demi-glace of bourbon, rich and packed with flavor. I hope you enjoy the bottle and share it with friends and family this holiday season.
 
Warm, sweet oak, tobacco, aged oolong tea and orange zest. As the glass sits notes of maple and bright cherry begin to develop.
 
The palate has the same wonderful fruit and brightness from the nose. Blackberry, Bischoff cookies, and honeysuckle. The oak is integrated nicely as it amplifies the sweet and slightly herbal notes.
 
The finish is long! Honeydew, pipe tobacco and black tea linger for minutes after the sip. Rich and delicious this pour closes out with a bang!
