Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Fire Pot Barrel Aged

About this bottle

Released in 2006, this was one of three barrels in the inaugural series of experimental whiskeys released by Buffalo Trace. This bourbon was made from BT Rye Mash #1, distilled and barreled in February 1996. The barrel was dried at 102 degrees Fahrenheit (38.89 degrees Celsius, for you highfalutin types) for twenty-three minutes. The barrel was then brought to a #4 char. After ten years (and 33.5% evaporation), the barrel was emptied in February 2006 and bottled at 45% ABV. Note: This is sold in 375ml sized bottles.
