This 2012 release is the older half of a paired Giant French Oak Barrels experiment, drawn from a single 135-gallon used French oak barrel (#3 char) filled on May 17, 1989 with BT Rye Mash #2 distillate entered at 130 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oversized barrel - more than twice the volume of a standard 53-gallon barrel - changes the surface-area-to-volume ratio that drives wood extraction, allowing a longer, slower interaction with the French oak. After 23 years of aging, the barrel was emptied on June 27, 2012 and chill filtered to 90 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the line's oldest-aged releases and the larger sibling of the 19 Year Giant French Oak Barrels bottling. Approximately 1,360 375ml bottles were filled from the single 135-gallon barrel. 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: 23 Year Old\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":48621393969407,"sku":"BTBOECOGCA3723","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1586\/0223\/files\/BuffaloTraceExperimentalCollection23YearOldGiantFrenchOakBarrelWhiskey375ml.webp?v=1780421739","url":"https:\/\/canawineco.com\/products\/buffalo-trace-experimental-collection-23-year-old-giant-french-oak-barrel-whiskey-375ml","provider":"Cana Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
