Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection | 23 Year Old Giant French Oak Barrel (2 of 2)
American whiskey typically ages in 53 gallon oak barrels, but these whiskeys matured in 135 gallon barrels, one for 19 years and one for 23 years. Additionally, both barrels were crafted from French oak, and had previously contained some sort of wine. The exact type of wine was lost in the records. Furthermore, these giant barrels underwent a #3 char, varying from Buffalo Trace’s typical #4 char. This experiment was a multifaceted investigation in crafting bourbon.
Distillery Information
Buffalo Trace Distillery is a distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, that is owned by the Sazerac Company. It has historically been known by several names, including the George T. Stagg Distillery and the Old Fire Copper (O.F.C.) Distillery. Its namesake bourbon brand, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey, was introduced in August 1999. The company claims the distillery is the oldest continuously-operating distillery in the United States. The company says the name “Buffalo Trace” refers to an ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Franklin County, Kentucky. The Sazerac Company purchased the distillery in 1992.
