Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Double Barreled 1997 Vintage is a Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This 2009 release was distilled from Buffalo Trace Rye Bourbon Mash Bill #2 on November 18, 1997, aged in new charred American white oak for three years, then dumped and re-barreled into fresh new charred American oak for an additional nine years before being bottled on September 16, 2009.
The Experimental Collection is Buffalo Trace's long-running program of one-off whiskeys exploring unique mash bills, woods, barrel toasts, and aging conditions, with more than 2,000 experimental barrels aging in the distillery's warehouses. The Double Barreled experiment paired two re-barreled bourbons - a 1993 vintage and a 1997 vintage - to test how much additional new-oak time after a mid-life dump and re-fill changes the final bourbon, with each vintage entering its second barrel at a different point in its life.
On the nose, it shows fresh oak character with bright vanilla. The palate brings layered caramel, vanilla, and gentle spice from the second new-oak fill, and the finish carries a balanced, oak-forward close.
The shorter first-barrel time of the 1997 release produced a bourbon with brighter, fresher character than its older 1993 companion. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
