Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 2013

New & Rare Release at Lukas Liquor Superstore

 

Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 2013

Experiment #7 Heavy Char Barrel

 Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 2013

This particular Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection bourbon survived the heat. The #7 Heavy Char Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is the latest offering from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The experimental study the effects of extreme heat on oak barrels and the flavor of the bourbon inside.

The #7 Heavy Char Barrel Bourbon Whiskey experiment used barrels which were charred for 3.5 minutes, as opposed to the normal 55 second char used by Buffalo Trace typically. The barrels were then filled with Buffalo Trace Rye Bourbon Mash #2 and left to age for 15 years and 9 months. The end result is a bourbon with an oaky aroma followed by a body that is heavy and complex. A smoky and robust flavor, with fantastic woody notes and hints of vanilla, fruit and tannin. It is dry and balanced.

“Toying with barrels is fun and interesting. It’s quite dramatic to see how something as simple as an extra heavy barrel char can influence the taste of bourbon,” said Harlen Wheatley, Buffalo Trace’s, Master Distiller. “This experiment yielded very interesting and balanced flavor profiles that I think most people will enjoy tasting.” These “hot” barrels are part of the more than 1,500 experimental barrels of whiskey aging in the warehouses of Buffalo Trace Distillery. Each of these barrels has unique characteristics that differentiate it from all others. Some examples of these experiments include unique mash bills, type of wood and barrel toasts.

 In order to further increase the scope, flexibility and range of the experimental program, an entire micro distillery, named The Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. “OFC” Micro Distillery, complete with cookers, fermenting tanks, and a state-of-the-art micro still has been constructed within Buffalo Trace Distillery.
