Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 1991 Barrels, rediscovered

Released in 2013, this is one of four bottles in the thirteenth batch from the Experimental Collection series by Buffalo Trace. This batch experiment varies the barrel entry proof for their wheated bourbon whiskey, which for Buffalo Trace, is a standard 114 proof. All four bottles were aged the same amount of time, 11 years and seven months. Using their wheated mash bill, the bourbon was distilled and barreled in October 2001. It entered a #4 char barrel at 90 proof. After a staggering 64% evaporation, the barrels were emptied in June 2013 and bottled at 45% ABV.
