Description
Seelbach's Private Reserve Wheated Bourbon is a "full circle" release from founder Blake Riber, designed to capture the soulful essence of the great wheated bourbons of the past. Crafted in Owensboro and meticulously blended, this small batch utilizes a slow reduction process where water is added gradually over two months to preserve the delicate, pastry-like characteristics of the high-wheat mash bill. The result is a non-chill filtered spirit that balances a robust proof with an incredibly creamy texture, offering a "daily drinker" experience that feels like a rare find. This is a bottle built for enthusiasts who appreciate a deeper oak profile and more robust fruit flavors than your typical wheated bourbon.
