Case Study 8 begins with 05, our first wheated release, which was named World's Best Wheated Bourbon at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. For CASE STUDY: 08, we went back to the same lots with a more focused selection, choosing only barrels from winter distillations. Because of when they were filled, these barrels carry an eight-year age statement but are closer to nine years old. This new expression is a whiskey we know well. Eight distinct batches, each composed of eight hand-selected barrels, bring together the softness and balance that set CASE STUDY: 8 apart with the depth that only additional time in American oak can give. Like every CASE release, it is a true "one-of-a kind" expression, shaped by a singular selection and never to be produced again.

Seelbach's Private Reserve 21 Year American Light Whiskey (143.1 Proof)

Seelbach's Private Reserve is a bespoke independent bottler. We're dedicated to "unlocking craft spirits." We embrace patience, waiting for that special whiskey to cross our path. That's exactly what happened with this barrel-proof, ultra-aged American Light Whiskey. This American Light whiskey aged for 21 years in used bourbon barrels from J.E. Seagram's and Four Roses. This antique oak and age allowed for complexity and depth to develop. As we began to taste through each barrel, notes of dried fruit and cigar box are what we fell in love with. This bottle remains uncut and unfinished to highlight the elegance of aged whiskey.

  • Nose: Rich maple, bold baking spice, honey, cracked pepper, cinnamon, clove, toffee and rich oak. The nose is really expressive, dessert first, spice, then tannin.

  • Taste: Rich palate, viscous and layered. The proof carries a lot of the flavor through this chewy, decadent mouthfeel. Toffee and brown sugar pop first with notes of sweet oak, cinnamon, creme brulee. Light cola, icing, brown butter and big cinnamon roll sweetness develops over time and the oak shows through with plenty of spice.

  • Finish: Long finish, carries and carries with big dessert character, pleasant balanced oak, just a pop of ethanol and the right combination of sweet and spice.

Old Carter Small Batch Bourbon PLDC #7 (118.4 Proof)

Blade and Bow 12-Year-Old Solera Reserve opens with a graceful nose of red fruit, dried fig, and currant leading into a silky, layered palate. Caramelized sugar and dried fruit give way to almond toffee, cocoa, and dark cherry. The finish shows dark fruit and oak spice, supported by tannins and subtle wine acidity balanced by corn sweetness. The vat program contributes these distinct layers: Port and Bordeaux bring dark fruit and tannic structure. Cognac adds refined fruit esters and rancio, while Moscatel lends aromatic lift and sweetness—together creating a long, resonant finish.

Distilled from 100% Scottish mainland Concerto barley and malted to 81.0 PPM, Octomore 17.1 has been matured full-term in first-fill bourbon barrels, with notes of salt, smoke and sweetness.

Vanilla milkshake and warm custard tart meet pear drops and malt syrup. The peat builds in waves: dry, earthy smoke, smouldering oak and ash. Salinity cuts through the sweetness, creating clarity.
