BUFFALO TRACE EXPERIMENTAL COLLECTION

Buffalo Trace has released two French oak barrel-aged bourbons as the first brands of the 2O15 Experimental Collection.  The distillery created two different barrel types, one made entirely of French oak and another using French oak heads but American white oak staves.  The staves were air-dried for six months and the barrels were charred for 55 seconds.  Both barrels were filled with the same bourbon recipe, known as Buffalo Trace Rye Bourbon Mash #1.  Suggested retail is $46.35 for a 375ml bottle.  Available from Horizon Beverage Company.
