Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Seasoned Staves 48 Months is a Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This February 2019 release is the older-stave-seasoning half of a paired Seasoned Staves experiment, built on a standard BT bourbon distillate aged 9 years in barrels constructed from charred white oak staves that were air-dried and seasoned for 48 months before barrel assembly.
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 additional 12 months of stave seasoning compared to the 36 Months companion deepens the oxidation and tannin-mellowing process in the wood before the barrel is even built. Side-by-side with the 36 Months bottling, this release shows how an extra year of stave seasoning shapes the eventual bourbon's flavor.
Distilled and barreled alongside the 36 Months companion in October 2009, paired together so customers could directly compare how additional stave seasoning influences flavor development across the same 9 years of aging. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
