Seelbach's Private Reserve 15 Year Old, New Charred Oak Cask, Batch No. 002, Seelbach's, 61.3%

The contrast between dried fruit and toffee on the nose and the brighter strawberry pie and orange marmalade on the palate gives this bourbon a clear sense of movement. The long, tea-and-oak-spice finish sounds like a satisfying close.
