Blake's Tasting Notes: The nose starts very nice and balanced. Rich oak, dates and orange bitters. There’s a touch of vanilla and roasted pecan. But when it hits the palate, wow! It’s a double fudge brownie with caramelized cherries. Incredible viscous and indulgent. The two different finishing barrels marry in the best way. Sweet oak and tobacco from the Zak barrel combine with toasty vanilla bean ice cream from the Kelvin barrel. There’s more of the pecan from the nose. That begins to develop into a brighter fruit and spice note as it transitions to the back palate. Orange creamsicle, sage and oak spice linger long after the pour is finished.

The Story:  Seelbach's is dedicated to 'unlocking craft spirits.' As a bespoke independent bottler, we embrace patience, waiting for that special whiskey to cross our path. Seelbach's Double Oaked starts with a rich high-rye bourbon. The additional aging in in new oak adds depth and complexity. The result is a robust whiskey. Its prominent flavor notes are dark chocolate, toasted sugar and oak. Enjoy!
