Batch 001

Finishing Barrel: Aonair Winery California Cabernet Barrel; 4-months

Mash Bill: 75/15/10 Corn/Rye/Malted Barley

Source: Bardstown, KY

Proof: 130.1 Proof; Barrel Strength

Bottle Count: 240 bottles

Tasting Notes: Strawberry jam, molasses, white pepper and buttered toast. This is syrupy and viscous. The perfect combination for a high proof finish. The Howell Mountain Cabernet adds richness. The bourbon balances perfectly as it touches on notes of dried fruit sweetness that transition into a long finish of toasted oak and heat.

About: 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. When a boutique winery offers barrels for aging we jump at the opportunity. The secondary finish adds notes of dried fruit and strawberry jam. The barrel compliments without overpowering the bourbon. This is a balancing act we we perform with each batch. But, the end result is always worth the added attention.  Enjoy!

A Note About Batch Numbers

As the Seelbach’s Private Reserve continues to grow we’ve revamped how we use batch numbers. Each core release will now have it’s own sequential numbers. This replaces our old system of each release getting the next batch number. I.e. even though Cab Finished is our seventh release, it’s Batch #001 because it’s the first cab finished bourbon. This may be a little confusing in our first few releases. In the future, it should help Seelbach’s customers track each release a little easier. But, if you have any questions about a specific batch please feel free to reach out!

Here’s what we have coming in the next few weeks:
