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 Kentucky Straight Bourbon, aged for 9 years and 3 months. This bottle remains uncut and unfinished, allowing the high-rye bourbon mash bill to highlight the elegance of aged whiskey. Enjoy!

About the product: Created by award-winning bartender and spirits producer Robert Haynes, the Gold Fashioned is built using hand-selected vintage whiskeys and complemented by bespoke house-made Saffron Bitters made from only world-class ingredient suppliers. The 2023 release includes a 9-year KY Bourbon and 10-year and 6-year IN Straight Rye Whiskeys, as well as the bitters made from hand-harvested Herat Saffron, Grade-A Tahitian Vanilla Beans, single-origin Ecuadorian Cacao, Seville Orange Peel, and wild-harvested Gentian Root from the French Alps. Each bottle is accompanied by an orange zest atomizer comprised of Valencia, Blood, and Navel orange peel extracts and is best enjoyed over ice. The result is the world’s finest Old Fashioned; a perfectly balanced and uncompromising drinking experience.
First released in 2021, the annual limited release of the Gold Fashioned has sold out each of its first two editions and is now on its 2023 vintage.
