This extremely rare and extraordinary vintage 1991 17 years old Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey was distilled on 17. July 1991 and was a marriage of two different rum barrels into one extraordinary offering. Both barrels contained rum that was 17 years old. One barrel was new American white oak and one was used American white oak. Both barrels were aged on the second floor of Warehouse I, then married together and bottled at 90 proof. These special amber colored Bourbon Whiskey was the 5th release of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection in 2008 and only 2 barrels was being bottled. This single barrel bourbon whiskey is one of the very rare rarities from Buffalo Trace s Experimental Collection, and with its extraordinary double maturation it is absolutely unique and almost impossible to find.

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.
