Onyx & Amber 12-Year Single Barrel Bourbon 107.3 proof - Selected by Seelbach's

Onyx & Amber 12-Year Single Barrel Bourbon 107.3 proof - Selected by Seelbach's

Regular price $129.99 Sale

Age: 12 years

Proof: 107.3 proof cask strength

Bottle Count: 144 bottles

Mash bill: 75% Corn, 21% Rye 4% Barley

Tasting Notes: While 12 years old, the age is masked by sweeter notes of brown sugar, caramel sauce, sweet leather, and pipe tobacco. Lightly perfumed with red fruits and citrus, the nose carries a creamy vanilla Coke that transitions into whipped cream with a maraschino cherry on top.

On the palate, sweet oak and fresh leather meet slight tea-like tannins nipping at the tongue, before giving way to richer layers of mature oak and fudge brownies.
 
Where our last barrel leaned creamy and chewy, this one feels more rounded, with oak that softens into those perfumed cola notes. A touch of dark chocolate ganache lingers in the finish, joined by sweet-toned oak, tobacco, and leather for a long, elegant close.

Seelbach's Story: We’re excited to introduce a new name to the Seelbach's lineup: Onyx & Amber, a Denver-based whiskey company focused on sourcing and finishing exceptional barrels that we think you'll only start seeing more about. They specialize in high-aged, cask-strength bourbon—often from MGP—that’s matured further in Colorado’s high-altitude climate. Each release is hand-selected for depth, complexity, and character, and this one’s no exception.
 
One bottle I loved years ago was a low-proof, cask-strength single barrel from Smooth Ambler. I should've grabbed every bottle I could before the hype caught up to it. In today's whiskey world, high-proof and hazmat releases reign supreme. But I love a cask-strength release at an approachable proof point.

 While there's no shortage of Indiana bourbons to try for Seelbach's, there are always some that stand out, and that was the case the first time I tried Onyx & Amber. 12-years old, 107 proof at cask strength, and under a 144 bottle yield... this is the perfect storm we love chasing.
