Buffalo Trace 1997 11 Years Double Barreled 7th Release Experimental Collection 2009 Bourbon Whiskey 45.0% Vol. - rare and unique Bourbon Whiskey from the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery!
This rare vintage 1997 11 year old Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Bourbon Whiskey was distilled on 18th November 1997 and after 4 years and 1 month was refilled on 12th December 2001 into another charred American white oak barrel and was matured again for over 6 more years until it was bottled without added colouring on 15th September 2009 at 45.0% vol / 90 proof.
In these experiment, the effect of aging bourbon whiskey in two different barrels was examined. Bourbon was aged in new, charred American white oak barrels for two different lengths of time. Bourbon was then placed in new charred American oak barrels again, and aged for an additional 6 years. Both whiskeys used the same mash bill, Buffalo Trace Rye Bourbon Mash Bill #2. Stored in Warehouse I on Floor I/5, this 11 year and 10 month old Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Bourbon Whiskey has a deep, rich flavour with a very robust start and smooth finish. Only 2 barrels of this special caramel-coloured Buffalo Trace Double Barreled Bourbon Whiskey were bottled as the 7th release of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection in the year 2009.
This Buffalo Trace Double Barreled Bourbon Whiskey is now one of the especially rarities from the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection, is absolutely unique with its exceptional double maturation and is 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.
