13th Colony Distillery Barrel Symphony Composition No. 1

Barrel Symphony Bourbon X Rye Blend Composition No. 1: 87% Straight Bourbon – Aged 6 years 13% Straight Rye Whiskey – Aged 7 years Seelbach's Notes: The nose is plush and creamy, opening with soft peach and apricot, watermelon Jolly Rancher, and layers of maple syrup before moving into semi-sweet chocolate and honeyed sweet oak. Underneath, the rye begins to poke through, lightly herbal but candied, never overtaking the sweeter honeyed notes. The palate is perfectly punchy, think French toast sticks dipped in maple syrup meeting this nectary peach and plum fruitiness, while balanced candied spices continue to ramp up, dancing along the sides of the tongue. Deeper notes of blueberries tumbled in dark chocolate, candied lemon peel, and orange marmalade continue to build. The finish continues with vanilla sweet mint and blackberry cobbler, as buttery cornbread and a dash of black pepper carry into a long, warming linger. Master Distiller Notes: Nose: Warm honey and pancake syrup lead, layered with bittersweet chocolate and fresh honeysuckle. Light herbal notes of thyme weave through sweet cornbread and toasted corn flakes. Palate: Opens with maple sweetness and malted barley, then spiced plums and cinnamon-sugar doughnuts. Gentle baking spice builds through the mid-palate, adding depth and balance alongside hints of French toast and orange jam. Finish: Soft baking spice lingers into sweet corn and dark, sugary maltiness from the bourbon, creating a balanced, long finish with a touch of warmth.
