The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection is a series of limited edition bourbons that are created using unique and innovative techniques. Each release in the collection is designed to explore a specific aspect of bourbon production, such as barrel aging, grain selection, or yeast strains.
Â
One of the most interesting aspects of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection is the use of different barrel types and aging techniques. For example, some releases are aged in barrels made from staves that have been air-dried for 18 months, while others are aged in barrels that have been toasted but not charred. These variations can have a significant impact on the flavor profile of the bourbon, resulting in unique and complex flavors.
Â
Another area of experimentation in the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection is grain selection. Some releases use non-traditional grains, such as oats or rice, in addition to the standard corn, rye, and barley. This can result in bourbons with unusual flavour profiles that are unlike anything else on the market.
Â
The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection is a fascinating exploration of the many factors that contribute to the flavour of bourbon. Each release is a unique and limited edition expression that offers a glimpse into the possibilities of bourbon production.
