Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 1997 Double Barreled

Released in 2009, this bottling was part of the seventh batch from the Experimental Collection released by Buffalo Trace. This bourbon was made from BT Rye Mash #2, distilled and barreled in November 1997. After a little more than four years in new, charred American oak, the whiskey was moved to brand new American oak charred cask in December of 2001. Both casks were brought to a #4 char. After aging for a total of eleven years and ten months (and 33% evaporation), the barrel was emptied in September 2009 and bottled at 45% ABV.
