Seelbachs Pick
Aroma - dark fruits, apple cinnamon cherries, vanilla frosting aromas are all very bold here. Candle worthy
Taste - Following the nose 100%.. the alcohol really comes through at the back end of the palate and in the finish.. but once the palate gets acclimated… look the fuck out. This one is just explodes with bubblegum rye with caramel, chocolate, plums and dark berries, vanilla frosting and hints of cinnamon. Massively complex
Overall - Tremendous aroma, taste and finish. Viscous with a long finish. Had a Bookers Tagalong pour before this and the finish on this far exceeds the Bookers pour. I feel that some might not like the boldness of this whiskey. It’s extremely dark and full of flavor and the alcohol presence is quite noticeable. However, this is a damn good bottle and something I would absolutely seek out again. It’s extremely unique.. bold yet decadent. The alcohol is bold but it’s a friendly reminder to take it slow.. and enjoy.
