Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 15 Year Wheated

<p>he final release is batched from just 13 barrels that were aged for 15 years on the first floor of Warehouse H. Over the course of maturation, 62% of the whiskey was lost to evaporation. The final product was then chill-filtered before bottling at 107 proof. While earlier Experimental Collection releases were bottled at 90 proof, Buffalo Trace decided a higher ABV was ideal for this whiskey’s profile. </p><p><br></p><p> Brand tasting notes call out a nose with “rich layers of caramel and warm brown spice that are balanced by subtle leather and tobacco notes.” The palate is oak-forward and earthen, with dried fig, leathery tannins, and what the distillery calls a rounded sweetness.</p>
