About this bottle

Most bourbon is aged in white oak from the Ozarks, but bourbon only requires that new, charred oak containers to be used for aging. The type of oak isn't specified. The Old Charter Oak series will feature different oak varietals to age bourbon. The oak will be sourced from different regions, different countries, and different ages including some century oaks. This bottling features oak sourced from Mongolia. It was sourced by master distiller Harlen Wheatley. The oak barrels arrived at Buffalo Trace in 2008 and were filled with Buffalo Trace mash bill #1. Aged for 10 years, Old Charter Oak Mongolian Oak is available in December 2018 in limited quantities. Future releases will be rolled out periodically with two new releases expected for 2019.

I'm not generally a big bourbon fan (I love my ryes and islay scotch) but saw this earlier today and decided to pick it up. A new offering from Buffalo Trace, aged 10 years in barrels made from the "Quercus mongolica" oak trees in Mongolia that apparently persevere in tortuous weather conditions. Vanilla notes on the nose and with the first sip, it's very light. Vanilla, raisins, burnt sugar on the finish. It's a lovely drink. Cannot believe it's a bourbon. I'm somewhat new to articulating what I like about whisky but have been drinking a great deal of them for the last 6 years. Pardon the review but I know what I like and this is superb.

maple, oak, laundry soap, resin, corn, peaches, very light and thin; I understand the idea of highlighting the oak variety, but this would be much better with a heavier char

Top 5 Bourbon for me (if this is really bourbon?). Outstanding flavors?
