Seelbach’s Private Reserve Batch 005: Toasted French Oak & Maple Syrup Finished Bourbon

Seelbach’s Private Reserve Batch 005 is a bold and innovative release that pushes the boundaries of bourbon finishing. This expression begins with a 4-year-old straight bourbon sourced from Bardstown, Kentucky, featuring a mash bill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye. After initial aging, the bourbon undergoes a distinctive finishing process: it spends six months in the intense Florida heat before being transferred to a blend of toasted French oak and ex-bourbon maple syrup barrels. The final blend consists of a 60/40 ratio of French oak to maple syrup barrels, resulting in a limited release of 1,064 bottles, each bottled at 111.3 proof (55.65% ABV).
