Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project Barrel #12 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (375mL)

Buffalo Trace's Bold Oak Experiment

The Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project Barrel #12 is a limited-edition, 8-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Part of a groundbreaking experiment, this 90 proof (45% ABV) bourbon is crafted from a rye recipe and aged in a barrel with unique wood characteristics. With forestry and eucalyptus notes, solid oak, chewy wood, modest fruit hints, and an ashy finish, it's a collector's dream. Each barrel in the project offers a distinct flavor profile, making Barrel #12 a rare gem.

Buffalo Trace is a highly respected brand from the famous distillery of the same name. The Buffalo Trace Distillery claims to be “the most awarded distillery” in America. 

It has become the flagship of the Sazerac Bourbon line-up. They keep the mash bill tight — corn, rye, and malted barley with no wheat filler. It is also aged 7 years and served up at 45% ABV. All that means good Bourbon flavor in every sip.

We taste buttery caramel, toffee, dried pineapple, and cinnamon toast. The finish is decent in length with lingering spice and sweet.
