Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 1991 Barrels, Rediscovered

About this bottle

Released in 2011, this is one of three bottles in the tenth batch from the Experimental Collection by Buffalo Trace. As the name suggests, the theme here is rediscovered barrels.This whiskey is taken from eight barrels that were found hiding in the odd corners of Warehouses C, Q, & I. They were distilled in October 1991 from an unknown bourbon mash bill with distill and barrel entry proofs unknown (hence the classification of "whiskey" and not "bourbon"). It was aged for nineteen years and one month in new charred oak. By the time they were found, 62.1% of the contents had evaporated. The barrels were emptied in December 2010 and bottled at 45% ABV.
