The base is Kentucky straight bourbon distilled in Bardstown from a 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley mash and aged around four years. Seelbach's then re-barrels it for roughly six months of Florida summer in Jacksonville, splitting the whiskey between toasted French oak barrels and ex-bourbon barrels that previously held maple syrup, then blending at about 60% French oak to 40% maple before bottling at barrel strength, which has ranged from 111.3 to 113.4 proof across batches. Batch 5 was 1,064 bottles; Batch 007 was limited to 684. The producer's notes describe creme brulee, oak and baking spice, vanilla frosting and aged leather, and a long French-toast finish. Breaking Bourbon found the French oak kept the maple sweetness in check, with buttered pancakes and maple sugar candy giving way to rye spice, clove and pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Seelbach's Private Reserve Toasted French Oak \u0026amp; Maple Finished Bourbon online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seelbach's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752058884352,"sku":"C0010536L","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/seelbachs-toasted-french-oak-maple-bourbon_b5c0f75b-0877-4fc3-8076-be324f1b80b0.jpg?v=1792880637","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/seelbach-s-private-reserve-toasted-french-oak-maple-finished-bourbon","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
