Tasting Notes: Roasted peaches and pecans fill the nose. It's a deep fruit and slight spice throughout. That turns to a touch of cocoa powder and flambéed cherries. The wood notes bring it together with toasted oak and raisins. This is not a subtle palate. It's an immediate punch of black cherry and vanilla. On the mid-palate, it transforms into a vanilla custard and candied oranges. The back palate dries out a bit with roasted almonds, giving way to a finish of toasted baking spice. 

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 Straight Bourbon, aged for 8 years. This bottle remains uncut and unfinished, allowing the high-rye bourbon mash bill to highlight the elegance of aged whiskey. Enjoy!

About: Seelbach's members spoke and we listened! An 8-year, cask strength, Kentucky Bourbon with a high-rye mash bill for less than $70? That's something I never thought we'd be able to do. If I'm being honest, we're still figuring out what Seelbach's Private Reserve is. As we evolve, your feedback is crucial to the decisions we make. The amount of people chasing quality and value has been overwhelming. Because of that, we started our own hunt. We stumbled across a lot of barrels that blew us away. These barrels are now part of the Seelbach's Private Reserve Core lineup. We plan to have this always available to our members. Because great bourbon should be available and accessible!
