The advantage of Seelbach's Private Reserve is tasting hundreds of new releases each year. In late 2023, high proof, double oaked bourbon emerged as one of our favorites. It was also one of our most popular products. We started to put together a product we knew we would be proud of. This is a four barrel blend from the same lot of barrels as the 9-yr release, double oaked an extra 10 months. Two new Seguin Moreau Toasted Char no. 4s & two Speyside Cooperage Char no. 4 barrels.

There were some scary moments along the way. Fears crept in of ruining fantastic bourbon with extra aging. The biggest scare came about 4 months. A friend tasting with me said "this reminds me of Home Depot..." NOT what we were looking for! Thankfully, it was the toasted barrels that needed more time to mellow. A hot Florida summer played a pivotal role in getting this blend to a prime spot! The resulting barrels added even more depth to what we thought was a fantastic sipping whiskey. To our surprise still kept the proof above 130!\xa0

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. Seelbach's Double Oaked starts with a rich high-rye bourbon. The additional aging in in new oak adds depth and complexity. The result is a robust whiskey. Its prominent flavor notes are dark chocolate, toasted sugar and oak. Enjoy!

Tasting Notes:\xa0Blackberry and cherry cobbler. Bright fruits, intense turbinado sugar and baking spice mix nicely. Touches of sweet oak and torched orange peel round out the nose. The first sip coats the palate with oily notes of luxardo cherry and cigar box. It's a flavor bomb and the heat dissipates. Toasted vanilla and apricots start to develop before the return of the oak tannins. The finish is long with some notes of angostura bitters and dried almonds.
