Buffalo Trace Distillery began experimenting with recipes and barrel treatments more than two decades ago.
The Single Oak Project is the most extensive bourbon experiment ever undertaken. For over two centuries Buffalo Trace Distillery has been a pioneering leader in quality and innovation. The Single Oak Project is our most inventive and comprehensive experiment yet. It all started with 96 individually selected American oak trees that differed according to the number of growth rings per inch and growing location. Each tree was then cut into two parts - top and bottom - yielding 192 unique tree sections. A single barrel was constructed from each unique section. Prior to construction we varied the stave seasoning times. The 192 barrels were then charred differently. These single oak barrels were then filled with different recipe whiskeys, at various entry proofs and aged in a variety of different warehouse styles. We believe that this experiment will allow you to directly compare the impact of 7 different critical variables - recipe (wheat or rye), entry proof (105 proof or 125 proof), stave seasoning (six months or 12 months), grain size (tight, average, or coarse grains), warehouse (concrete floor or wooden rick floor), char number (number three or number four char), and tree cut (top or bottom half of the tree) across 192 bottles for a total of 1,396 taste combinations. None of the 192 bottles in the complete set are exactly alike. All of the barrels were then aged together for 8 years and bottled at 90 proof. The Single Oak Project Collection is packaged in 375ml bottles.
