Beautiful floral and fruity nose. The flavors are delicious, but understated. I wish this had a higher proof so the flavors would be more pronounced. The finish is unexpectedly long for its low proof. I really enjoy this and am very pleased I had the opportunity to sample it.

About this bottle
This bottling, part of Buffalo Trace's fourth experimental release in 2008, was initially a bourbon made from BT Rye Mash #1, distilled and barreled in May 1992. Following six years and three months in new charred American oak, it was transferred in August 1998 to a medium-toasted French oak ex-cabernet franc barrel. After a total of fourteen years aging, with 35.67% evaporation, it was bottled as "whiskey" at 45% ABV in February 2008. The TTB's rules at the time required finished bourbon to be labeled as whiskey if aged in wine casks.
