Seelbach’s Private Reserve 8-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Batch 001

Regular price $64.99 Sale

Distilled and Aged in Bardstown, KY, bottled in Jacksonville, FL

Proof:  118.3 proof

Age: 8-Years old

Source: Two sources in Kentucky

Mash Bill: 74/21/4 & 60/36/4 Corn/Rye/Malted Barley

Bottle Count: 1280 bottles

Tasting Notes: The nose begins fresh, creamy, and citrusy. Maple frosting and dark chocolate dipped orange slices on a late night drive through the rolling hills of Kentucky with the windows down. The longer you sit with it the more barrel presence is known, as well as more raspberry, toffee, and vanilla.

The palate begins round for its proof with a barrage of raspberry, flat grape soda, and dark cherry notes before an airy and effortless cascade of buttered toffee, soft milk chocolate, confectioner’s sugar and seasoned oak. Spiced cherry cola begins to rest on the sides of the mouth, flavors I’d often associate with Indiana aged Kelvins barrels.

The finish continues with slow brown sugar and overcooked caramel, but grows more into those juicy flat grape soda, black cherry and pepper notes in a long, dry, mature oak finish.

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. That's precisely what occurred with this barrel-proof Straight Bourbon, aged for 8 years. This bottle remains uncut and unfinished, allowing the high-rye bourbon mash bill to highlight the elegance of aged whiskey. Enjoy!
