Woody Creek Distillers Single Barrel Colorado Straight Bourbon #1668 160.4 Proof - Selected by Seelbach's

Barrel#: 1668

Age: 10-years old

Proof: 160.4 proof

Mashbill: 70/15/15 Corn/Colorado Elbon Rye/Malted barley

Tasting Notes: The nose is plump, candied, and reminiscent of boozy gummy worms. Apple cider, heavy brown sugar syrup, sweet antique oak, a soft drift of cigar box, Fruity Pebbles, smoked vanilla cream, and peanut butter fudge.

This absolutely takes your palate for a ride. It's proofy for sure, but packed with heft, not heat. The palate gives suggestions of age, but it's so fruity, creamy, and velvety that everything harmonizes beautifully. Tangerine, bubble gum, cherry sucker, freeze-dried raspberries, cane sugar, and a rich, thick layer of barrel char begin the sip. It continues to grow more candied and, honestly, more oaky the longer it opens up, as strawberries and cream and a ribbon of Hershey's syrup make themselves known, too.

The finish is long and coating, still endlessly fruity as a bit more barrel character, sweet leather, and cola concentrate begin to emerge.

Description: Crafted from Colorado-grown grains, including 70% #2 Dent corn, 15% Elbon rye, and 15% malted barley, this bourbon is distilled with Rocky Mountain water and produced in Basalt, Colorado, from grain to glass. Aged for 10 years in new charred American oak barrels, it delivers a complex balance of rich dates, toffee, warm nutmeg, and a hint of pink peppercorn. Distilled on custom German CARL stills, the result is a beautifully balanced bourbon with exceptional depth, complexity, and character.
