🗺️ The Story Behind the Barrel
Amburana-finished whiskey has made waves recently, but Seelbach’s wanted to elevate the trend with a more refined approach. After trying several producers’ takes, they carefully selected their own finishing technique—just 8 days in a first-use toasted Amburana barrel—to impart bold flavor without overpowering the whiskey’s base character.

Their mission? To highlight the balance between spice, sweetness, and savory warmth—and they nailed it.
