Buffalo Trace 2001 11 Years Rye Bourbon 115 15th Release Experimental Collection 2014 Bourbon Whiskey 45.0% Vol. - rare and unique Bourbon Whiskey from the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery!
This rare vintage 2001 11 year old Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Bourbon Whiskey was distilled on 11th February 2001, barreled on 11th May 2001 in 2 charred new white oak barrels and matured for 11 years and 9 months until it was bottled without added colouring on 20th August 2013 at 45.0% vol / 90 proof. This Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Bourbon Whiskey is a experiment sought to explore how different barrel entry proofs could affect the bourbon's resulting flavor profile. Buffalo Trace's Rye Bourbon mash bill has a standard barrel entry proof of 125. Using the standard Buffalo Trace Rye Bourbon Mash Bill #1, barrels were filled on the same day, but with four different entry proofs. All barrels were aged side by side in Warehouse K for the same amount of time, 11 years and nine months, and bottled at 90 proof. The 115 proof brye bourbon produced a bourbon whiskey with which shows light flavours with leather and palm sugar.
Only 2 barrels of this special deep bronze-coloured bourbon whiskey were bottled as the 15th release of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection in the year 2014. This Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey is now one of the exceptionally rarities from the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection and is now almost hard to find.
For more than two decades, Buffalo Trace has been experimenting with recipes and different processes to explore the effects of whiskey maturation and taste. Currently, there are more than 4,000 experimental barrel whiskeys of different ages in the warehouses of Buffalo Trace. Each of the barrels has unique characteristics and experimental changes in the mash calculation, wood species, barrel toasts and more. The experimental whiskey is periodically bottled and is available in limited quantities as a small limited edition, and the label contains all the facts about this unique whiskey. Due to the small available quantity, they are filled in bottles with 375ML content. These special Bourbon whiskeys from Buffalo Trace of the Experimental Collection are only delivered to a few selected dealers in the USA, are almost unavailable in Europe and are one of the absolute rarities among bourbon lovers and connoisseurs even at the special auctions of Bonhams, Krüger or Christies.
