Buffalo Trace 1991 17 Years Rum Marriage 5th Release Experimental Collection 2008 Bourbon Whiskey 45.0% Vol. - rare and unique Bourbon Whiskey from the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery!
This rare and extraordinary vintage 1991 17 year old Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Bourbon Whiskey was distilled on 17th July 1991 and shows the combination of two different rum casks to create an exceptional bourbon whiskey. Both barrels contained rum that was 17 years old. One barrel was new American white oak and one was made from previously used American white oak. Both barrels were allowed to mature on the second floor of warehouse I before being bottled on 17 July 2017 without the addition of colouring at 45.0% vol / 90 proof. Only 2 barrels of this exceptional amber-coloured Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey were bottled as the 5th release of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection in the year 2008.
This Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is now one of the particularly rare rarities from the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection, is absolutely unique with its exceptional maturation and is almost impossible to find.
For more than two decades, Buffalo Trace has been experimenting with recipes and different processes to explore the effects of whiskey maturation and taste. Currently, there are more than 4,000 experimental barrel whiskeys of different ages in the warehouses of Buffalo Trace. Each of the barrels has unique characteristics and experimental changes in the mash calculation, wood species, barrel toasts and more. The experimental whiskey is periodically bottled and is available in limited quantities as a small limited edition, and the label contains all the facts about this unique whiskey. Due to the small available quantity, they are filled in bottles with 375ML content. These special Bourbon whiskeys from Buffalo Trace of the Experimental Collection are only delivered to a few selected dealers in the USA, are almost unavailable in Europe and are one of the absolute rarities among bourbon lovers and connoisseurs even at the special auctions of Bonhams, Krüger or Christies.
