Seelbach Private Reserve 10 year Double Oaked Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bold. Rich. Unapologetic. Seelbach’s Private Reserve 10-Year Double Oaked takes a decade-old bourbon and gives it a second life in heavily charred new oak barrels. The result is a whiskey that doesn’t whisper — it declares. From the first pour, you’ll detect deep caramel, toasted oak, and dark chocolate layers. The proof hits like thunder (~130), yet the liquid remains smooth, velvety, thick with rich wood and sweetness. Underneath the boldness, there’s nuance: dried fig and espresso, bold rye spice balanced by lush vanilla and maple syrup. This is bourbon for the serious sipper — crafted with intention, aged with patience, and finished for effect.

Nose: Toasted oak, dark chocolate, toffee, rich caramel, subtle cigar box.

Palate: Espresso, dried figs, brown sugar syrup, bold rye spice, chocolate-covered cherries.

Finish: Long, warm, layered: melted chocolate, leather tab, charred oak, persistent spice.

Dessert: Dark chocolate with sea salt or tiramisu to amplify the rich cocoa and espresso notes.

Savory: Smoked brisket with a bourbon glaze or char-grilled ribeye with cracked pepper to match the oak and spice depth.

Cheese: Aged Gouda or smoked cheddar—rich and bold enough to stand up to the proof and wood
