Lots of dried mango and apricot. It moves toward clove, cinnamon and a touch of black pepper. The palate is a mix of sweet and spice. It initially has notes of candied orange peel and tobacco. That turns to black pepper and almond skins. There's some dry cocoa as it moves to a long finish of peach tea and dried cherry. Short Story: Seelbach’s Private Reserve Batch 3 pays tribute to the cocktail our name draws inspiration from. The cocktail is a mix of Kentucky Bourbon, Triple Sec, bitters and topped with champagne. Batch 3 starts with a blend of 84% 4-year 9-month and 16% 15-year Kentucky Bourbon. This blend finished in Triple Sec and Champagne barrels independently.
