Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection – 30 Minute Infrared Light Wave Barrels 375ml
A historic distillery, Buffalo Trace was built in 1812 by Harrison Blanton. It was then purchased by the legendary Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr in 1870, who named it OFC (Old Fashioned Copper) and invested heavily in its modernization. So much so in fact that he declared himself bankrupt after just seven years, and George T. Stagg stepped in to rescue it, becoming its owner in 1878. He ran the distillery until his retirement in the 1890s, and it was renamed in his honor in 1904. Having survived Prohibition, it was bought up by the Schenley company in 1933, who ran it as part of their extensive portfolio for the next fifty years, eventually selling it to Age International. The latter’s new Japanese ownership in 1992 had no interest in it (only in its brands) and immediately sold it to the Sazerac company, which renamed it, Buffalo Trace, in 1999.
A distillery with both enormous production capacity and warehouse space, the Sazerac Company has long had the privilege of being able to conduct numerous experiments in both distillings and aging of its whiskey. The company estimates that it has over 30,000 experimental barrels in its warehouses, and as of 2006 has been releasing the fruits of these for enthusiasts to mull over.
This 6-year-old was distilled using its low-rye mash bill #1 and aged in barrels subjected to infrared light waves at 60% power before receiving a #1 char. This was the second of two in release number 20.
