Seelbach's Private Reserve Christmas Rye + Humidor BUNDLE

Christmas Rye

A pour for under the mistletoe! This specialty whiskey lives somewhere between memory and tradition. It opens with bold, spicy rye - the kind that wakes up your palate like a snap of winter air - then rests in Amburana and maple barrels to bring the season to life. Amburana lends aromas of warm baking spices - cinnamon, clove, and a touch of nutmeg - while the maple staves offer notes of cozy sweetness and rich character. These flavors develop naturally from the grain, barrels, and finishing process - never from added flavorings. The result calls to mind holiday breakfasts and warm nights by the fire.

It’s Christmas in a glass - nostalgic, comforting and made to be shared.

Tasting Notes: Rich maple and baking spice on the nose. Notes of cinnamon, candied mint and toffee. The herbal notes of the rye shine on the palate as they’re combined with sweet brûléed sugar. The Amburana adds additional sweetness and spice to remind you of the holidays. This whiskey is amplified through the sweetness and spice. At the end of the day it just tastes like Christmas!

Tasting Notes: The nose begins with roasted candied almonds. Like the type you smell from 100 yards away at the fair that make you sprint to their booth. There's a subtle smoky and leather note as the nose opens up. Baked apple pie and toasted coconut close out the balanced aroma. The palate starts with that same stewed fruit, tobacco, and dark toffee. It's crisp and well-structured. The sweetness of the cognac marries with the rich tannins of the Spanish oak. There's a touch of roasted fruit as it moves into a finish of sweet oak and stone fruit. Layered flavors that don't overpower each other. A delicious pour!

The Story: A specialty blend crafted to pair with a cigar. We returned to the essence of a true cigar blend. It should enhance a great stick, not compete with it. It starts on the nose with warm notes from the Spanish oak barrel, evoking the moment you first crack open a humidor. The Cognac barrel brings subtle sweet notes mid-palate. It balances nicely with the first puff of a cigar. Then the Amburana barrel takes over, layering in notes of spice and depth that linger on the finish. The result is a bold, yet balanced pour designed to elevate any premium cigar experience.
