Distillery : Buffalo Trace - Kentucky
New Charred White American Oak Barrels
Original Bottling
Limited Edition
Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bottled in 2020
Unchillfiltered, Uncoloured, Cask Strength
Totally Unpeated
One of the oldest and most productive distilleries on the American
continent, Buffalo Trace, has an impressive number of brands. Every
year since 2000, the most prestigious ones have been the subject of a
special release. This is the BTAC, the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
William Larue Weller is part of this illustrious collection, it was excluded from it only in 2004. This brand is special because it produces a
Bourbon marked by wheat, one of the three cereals used to make the
product (corn, wheat, malted barley). The bottlings reserved for the
BTAC are Full Barrel Proof, Uncut & Unfiltered, that is to say the liquid is unchanged after distillation. Thanks to the product
roadmap, I know which barrels have been used, how long they
have been charred (55 seconds), and in which warehouses they have stayed
(I & C). 73% of the original liquid having been evaporated, it must not remain enough to make many bottles, however I do not know
the exact number.
Let's Taste It :
On the nose, I find more corn than wheat, with a nice drop of molasses
that mingles with melting caramel, milk chocolate, crispy cereals and a
noble and elegant woodiness. Hot chestnuts, acacia honey, pine needles. On the palate, the wood becomes prominent, with prune, grains of rye, cooked
apples. Various spices, from paprika to nutmeg, through
pepper and cinnamon. The finish is long, violent but well integrated, undergrowth, heather, bay leaf, caramel and resin.
Eucalyptus.
In Short,
A product of great refinement, and a magnificent length in mouth. A
delight for the taste buds. It seems that the release price is extremely
interesting (99 dollars), on the other hand, it is sold
out within a fraction of second, and the second market is relentless. Now
is the time to resell your cryptocurrency.
