Review #305 Ragged Beanch Twice Barreled Cowboy Cut Wheated Bourbon, selected by Seelbach’s Barrel 2965, bottle 38 105.74 proof Aged 7 years, 2 months Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Gorgeous mahogany. Nose: Dark fruit and sweet oak. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice and more fruit. Finish: Long length with medium heat. Splash: A few drops of water cuts the spice a bit, but no new flavors appear. Overall: 9/10 - This was a fresh crack, so it may open up over time. After the gorgeous color and fruity nose, the palate was like a punch in the mouth that I didn’t expect. Considering the wheated mashbill, I hadn’t expected this level of spice in the palate. Once I knew what to expect, it was actually quite pleasant. This was my first experience with this distillery and they brought their A game. I’m very curious to try their other expressions.

Seelbachs pick Nose: slight vanilla, butterscotch and grain Palate: drinks hotter than the proof but in a good way. This thing is tasty and a well balanced pour. It has the oak, spice, sweetness, grain and proof. Amazing pick
