Tasting Notes: The nose on this is plush and inviting, dense and powerful, sweet - but not too much. Sugared plums, fig, off-brand cherry cola, toffee, buttered pastry, and continued with semi-sweet chocolates and caramel. You can tell there’s age to the nose, but it isn’t overly oak forward.

The palate is dark fruit toned and custardy - and carries those semi-sweet chocolate notes into cordial cherries, with a bright spiced citrus note mid palate before a trailing of pecan pralines, date, caramel, and slightly drying oak.

The finish is trailing with vanilla cream, slightly drying with toffee, semi-sweet chocolates, anise, dried cherry, tobacco and oak.

Seelbach's Story: We had an incredible run of barrels from Nashville last year, and when I heard new stock was rolling into their selection program this spring, I made a quick trip down to get an early taste for you.
