Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection French Oak Barrel is a Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This 2006 release is one of the three inaugural Experimental Collection bottlings, drawn from a single barrel of BT Rye Mash #1 distilled in April 1995 and aged for 10 years in French oak - air-dried for 24 months and brought to a #3 char.
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 French oak barrel exchanges the heavier vanilla and caramel character of American oak for tighter spice, leather, and tannic structure. With 39% evaporation across the decade in barrel, the resulting spirit is exceptionally concentrated.
After 10 years of maturation and 39% evaporation, the single barrel was emptied in February 2006 and bottled at 90 proof. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
