Louisville Rickhouse 8-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon #9054 129.94 proof - Selected by Seelbach’s

Bottle count: 141 bottles

Tasting Notes: About as rich as eight-year-old Kentucky bourbon can get.

The nose is thick and potent. Slightly smoked butterscotch, rich vanilla cake, heavy brown sugar syrup, and plenty of black cherry, leather, well-seasoned oak, and spice.

The palate matches that potency with incredibly velvetiness. There’s heavily seasoned oak and slightly spiced cherry syrup and flat cream soda before it moves into deep sugar notes and torched citrus peel. 

It remains rich and enveloping as the heavy oak grows, moving into dark chocolate, chocolate-tumbled raspberry, and rich cola concentrate.
