Buffalo Trace Experimental 375ml

Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection

The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection is one of the most ambitious and respected research programs in American whiskey — a decades-long series of experimental releases from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, KY, one of the most decorated distilleries in the world. Each release in the Experimental Collection tests a specific variable in the whiskey-making process: different grain recipes, barrel entry proofs, barrel char levels, wood types, warehouse conditions, or aging durations — with the results bottled and released for enthusiasts and researchers alike to evaluate.

This 375ml release represents a singular experiment from Buffalo Trace's ongoing program, offering a rare window into the science and craft behind great bourbon. With each Experimental Collection release unique in its hypothesis and outcome, this is a bottle for the intellectually curious whiskey lover — a collector's piece that is as thought-provoking as it is delicious.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Complex and revealing — the interplay of Buffalo Trace's world-class distillate with the unique conditions of each experiment produces a whiskey of genuine intellectual and sensory interest
• Finish: Varies by release, typically medium to long with lingering oak, spice, and the signature Buffalo Trace smoothness
