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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 375ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProof: 90 (45% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 11 Year, 10 Months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillery: Buffalo Trace Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buffalo Trace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48621058261247,"sku":"BTBO97DBCA3709","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1586\/0223\/files\/BuffaloTraceExperimentalCollection1997DoubleBarreledBourbon375ml.webp?v=1780416366","url":"https:\/\/canawineco.com\/products\/buffalo-trace-experimental-collection-1997-double-barreled-bourbon-whiskey-375ml","provider":"Cana Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
