Buffalo Trace 1992 14 Years Cabernet Franc French Oak Barrel Bourbon Whiskey 4th Release 2008 Experimental Collection 45.0% Vol. - special rarity and unique Bourbon Whiskey from the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery!
This extremely rare and extraordinary vintage 1992 14 years old Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey was distilled on 2. May 1992, stored for 6 years and 3 months in a Bourbon Barrel until 19. August 1998 and was matured for more than 6 years in a French Oak Cabernet Franc Cask until its bottling on 26. February 2007 without the addition of dyes at 45.0% Vol. The ageing took place in Warehouse I on Floor 1 and this single barrel whiskey, which is over 14 years old, impressively shows the combination of the heavy French Cabernet Franc red wine with its earthy tannins and the bourbon notes. These special mahogany colored Bourbon Whiskey was the 4th release of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection in 2008 and only 1 barrel 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.
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.
