Shortbarrel Single Barrel Seelbach's Single Bratrel Pick

This barrel was aged and picked from the top floor and it shows. The color is dark amber/brown. Visually way darker than 5 yrs. On the nose absolute bbq sauce, cherry wood smoke, and black dirt. The alcohol hits on the palate, followed by the bbq. This brings sweet vinegar reminiscent of Kansas City. Slightly peppery finish with charcoal, cherry, and smoked pork ribs drenched in sauce. Very thematic profile but very tasty. This barrel was picked from Green River Distillery. All the selections I've had from them, though young, have been good.

Nose: vanilla and caramel, some banana, Palette: burnt sugar, cedar, cola, some ethanol on the exhale, rye baking spice on the back, with more cola sweetness in the finish.
