About this bottle

Buffalo Trace's Experimental Collection features this bottling, which explores the impact of aging their whiskey for ten years in barrels modified with French oak heads instead of standard American oak. Consistent with all releases in the Experimental Collection, this whiskey is presented in a 375ml bottle, and its availability is limited due to a production of only two barrels. It became available in May 2015.
