Old Charter
French Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(0.7l,
46%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Buffalo Trace’s excellent "mash bill #1" aged twelve years in French Oak.
Sazerac’s Buffalo Trace Distillery is a legend in itself. Not only is it home to some of the most highly prized Bourbon and Rye brands in the world — including Blanton’s, Van Winkle, Sazerac Rye, and two dozen more — but it consistently produces exceptionally high quality across its entire portfolio. In fact, Buffalo Trace is known as "the world’s most awarded distillery" with more than 500 wins.
Old Charter got its start in 1874 with Adam and Benjamin Chapeze in Bardstown, Kentucky. The brand changed hands a few times after Prohibition. Sazerac rescued them from the merger binge of the 1990s to give it a new home in 1999. The Old Charter Oak Series explores barrels made from different kinds of oak from around the world. The newest edition is Old Charter French Oak is comprised of Buffalo Trace’s famous "Mash Bill #1" — a high-corn mash with less than 10% rye — and aged for twelve full years in French oak. This new release arrived in June of 2019 and is bottled at a perfect 46% ABV.
Smartass corner:
Buffalo Trace Distillery produces all of their brands from four different mash bills. The differences from there are in wood, aging, and barrel selection.

French Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
The Buffalo Trace Distillery was one of the few production facilities that was allowed to remain in operation during Prohibition for "medicinal purposes."
Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
