Seelbach’s Private Reserve CLASSIC Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Proof: 99 proof Age: 7-Years 8-Months Mash Bill: 70/21/9 Corn/Rye/Malted Barley Distilled in: Owensboro, Kentucky Tasting Notes: Toasted oak, caramel and a touch of vanilla bean ice cream. A bit of orange zest and black tea on the palate. Leading to a bright cherry and toasted almond finish. True classic bourbon flavor! The Story: In 1962, the legal maximum barrel entry proof was raised from 110 to 125. Lower entry proofs historically allowed softer interactions between spirit and oak. We take inspiration from that method. We slowly dilute the bourbon in the barrel. The addition of water in the barrel allows the whiskey and water to marry over time. The lower proof results in higher tannin, sugar, and lignin extraction. Our process creates a rich, full-bodied bourbon. Loaded with notes of caramel, butterscotch, and dark fruits.
