This very rare vintage 2002 over 13 year old Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Bourbon Whiskey was distilled on 5th January 2002, matured for 13 years and 3 months in 3 selected charred new white oak barrels and was bottled on 20th August 2015 as release 19 for the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 2015 with no added colouring at 45.0% vol. / 90 proof.
This experimental bourbon from Buffalo Trace was distilled using the traditional sour mash method, the bourbon mash is cooked and cooled to standard, but then left to sit, allowing it to sour, before yeast is added to start the fermentation process. This old fashioned method of creating sour mash bourbon was replaced with the more commonly found method used today because it was so much more labor intensive. The Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned Sour Mash Entry Proof Whiskey was released in two versions with different entry proofs. This version was aged in barrels at the higher 125 proof and matured for over 13 years on the seventh floor of Warehouse I on Floor 7 and was bottled as the 19th release in the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection in August 2015 at 45% vol / 90 proof.
