This February 2019 release is the younger-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 36 months before barrel assembly.\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\u003eMost bourbon barrels use staves seasoned for 6-9 months. Extending the seasoning to 36 months allows additional oxidation and water-soluble tannin breakdown in the wood before the barrel is built - producing a different flavor profile than barrels with shorter-seasoned staves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled on October 26, 2009 and entered into barrel the next day. The 36-month seasoned stave bourbon shows more pronounced oak and caramel notes than the standard barrel-aged bourbon. Paired with the 48 Months Seasoned Staves release. 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: 9 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":48621771587839,"sku":"BTBOHBSS363718","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1586\/0223\/files\/BuffaloTraceExperimentalCollection36MonthSeasonedStavesBourbon.webp?v=1780427034","url":"https:\/\/canawineco.com\/products\/buffalo-trace-experimental-collection-36-month-seasoned-staves-bourbon-whiskey-375ml","provider":"Cana Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
