Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 12 year old wheated bourbon from floor #5

Buffalo Trace distilled a wheated bourbon and aged barrels from the same distillation date on three different floors (1 5 and 9) for 12 ½ years to see what the differences would be. This is similar to an experiment they conducted last year using a rye mashbill bourbon. As you will see the higher the floor the more intense the flavors and the greater the wood influence.

Nicely balanced flavors and complex. Spices dance on the palate (cinnamon clove nutmeg) balanced by underlying caramel and butterscotch and subtle honeyed orchard fruit. Lingering well-rounded finish. A fabulous wheated bourbon!  Price is per 375 ml. Editor's Choice.
