We've seen our fair share of celebrity brands hit the market in recent years, and even had a number of them here on Seelbach's. We are always excited when a brand comes together and the juice matches the squeeze. That was the case with Fathertime, which quickly became one of my favorite lower proof pours to reach for.
If you aren't familiar, Fathertime is a Kentucky bourbon from comedian Jim Gaffigan. Today we're here to talk about their special Winter 2025 edition - Twins, only available in 375mL and limited to only 1200 bottles (each of which is individually numbered). We have less than 200 bottles remaining here at Seelbach’s, so be sure to act quick.
Twins are a rare occurrence – just like this very limited edition double oaked Fathertime bourbon. This “Toasted French Oak Finish" batch was conceived from Second Child Syndrome, but like any twin, this expression is uniquely its own. It also may thus far be the most complex member of the Fathertime family.
Twins marks Jim’s first foray into a secondary finished bourbon – it’s half the size, and double the oak. A small batch of Second Child Syndrome was set aside for this experimental series, in which high spice staves of toasted french oak were added to unlock stand-out flavors within the bourbon. This double oak process intensifies fruit perception with notes of clove and nutmeg, adding complex spice character and a unique Fathertime bourbon experience.
