Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 12 Year Wheated Bourbon Cut at Four Years is a Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This May 2020 release is built on Buffalo Trace's wheated mash recipe with a single key experiment: the barrel was filled at a 114 proof entry, aged 4 years in Warehouse C, removed and cut with water to 100 proof, then returned to the same barrel and aged another 8 years.
The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection launched in 2006 as the distillery's ongoing program of small-scale bourbon and whiskey experiments. Over 30,000 experimental barrels age in Buffalo Trace's warehouses, each crafted with unique variations in mash bill, wood type, barrel toasting, char level, and aging conditions. Selected experiments are bottled and released in limited quantities in 375ml "lab-style" bottles, each labeled with detailed production notes - a direct window into how master distillers Harlen Wheatley and the BT team push the boundaries of American whiskey-making.
The mid-aging proof cut is the unusual variable - most bourbons enter the barrel at their final-stretch proof and either rise (Kentucky climate) or stay stable throughout. By dropping back down at year four and continuing in the same barrel, Buffalo Trace explored how the spirit's interaction with the wood changes when the alcohol concentration changes mid-maturation.
Distilled December 10, 2007, bottled in March 2020 at 90 proof. The 23rd release in the Experimental Collection. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
