Striped Pig Single Barrel #068 134.22 proof - Selected by Seelbach's

Age: 9-Years 8-Months Proof: 134.22 Mash bill: 70/21/9 Corn/Rye/Malted barley Tasting Notes: The nose is expansive and deeply concentrated, moving from seasoned oak and dark caramel into fudge rounds and chicory cold brew concentrate. Beneath all that richness is a cleaner, crisper sweetness, with vanilla, dark cherry, and blackberry syrup keeping the oak from becoming too heavy. The palate is fantastic. Huge, syrupy berry fruitiness moves from cherry preserves to blackberry, layered with smooth vanilla-coated fruit, dark caramel, and a chewy Tootsie Roll-like chocolate sweetness. It’s incredibly concentrated and oily, but for 134 proof it drinks surprisingly easy, with all that richness eventually giving way to deeply layered, sweet seasoned oak. The finish is long and oak-driven, with mature wood, dark fruit, vanilla, chewy chocolate, and a lingering syrupy sweetness. About: Striped Pig is quietly developing a unique whiskey program in Charleston. These barrels let us showcase a part of the distillery that needs more focus. Striped Pig has been making spirits for over ten years. However, these barrels come from Green River Distilling in Kentucky. Striped Pig took Kentucky whiskey and added its own twist. These barrels spent the last nine years aging in Charleston. This creates a unique blend of classic Kentucky bourbon and a Charleston producer that’s not afraid to be different.
