This April 2026 release is the 28th Experimental Collection bottling, exploring how a lower barrel entry proof influences wood interaction across 15 years of extended aging - inspired by historical records showing that pre-Prohibition entry proofs were often markedly lower than modern standards.\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 wheated bourbon distillate was entered at 105 proof rather than Buffalo Trace's traditional 114 proof, then aged 15 years. The lower entry proof means more water in the barrel during aging, which changes how the spirit pulls flavor compounds from the oak - a slower, gentler interaction over the long maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, this is also the first Experimental Collection release bottled at 107 proof rather than the line's standard 90 proof - Buffalo Trace chose the higher bottling proof to better showcase the complex flavor profile the extended aging produced. 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: 107 (53.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 15 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":48620922568959,"sku":"BTBOCFLECA3726","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1586\/0223\/files\/BuffaloTraceExperimentalCollectionLowEntryProofWheatedBourbon.webp?v=1780415370","url":"https:\/\/canawineco.com\/products\/buffalo-trace-experimental-collection-low-entry-proof-wheated-bourbon-whiskey-375ml","provider":"Cana Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
