Seelbach's Tasting Notes:
The nose is perfumed red fruits and custard. Sweet, beautifully spiced, and inviting.
The profile hits right away with darker fruit notes like raspberry and cherry before toasted vanilla, caramel, coffee, and lots of spiced leather.
The finish is long and trailing, never forgetting the red fruits, coffee, tobacco, and spiced leather notes.

About the product: Before Prohibition, Detrick Distilling Co. sold double copper-distilled whiskey in Dayton under the Belle of Dayton brand and founder Frank Detrick’s motto: “While we live, let’s live.” After Prohibition, the brand was lost to time, until the LaSelle brothers rediscovered a bottle buried for a century in a basement under a pile of debris. In 2014, inspired by this long-ago spirit, the LaSelle brothers opened Belle of Dayton Distillery and proudly brought back Detrick Fine Whiskies – genuine and unique single barrel bourbon. Drawing naturally filtered water from the area’s Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, they distilled a rare, five-grain mashbill of corn, oats, rye, wheat, and malted barley. The intricate flavor and full-bodied texture was preserved by slow pot distillation, then aged in a hand-toasted, 53-gallon white oak cask. Each bottle drawn from a single barrel, Detrick Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers an elegant sipping experience nearly a decade in the making, after a century of anticipation.
