Description
Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Organic Six Grain is a Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This May 2017 release is built on a fully organic six-grain mash bill: corn, buckwheat, brown rice, sorghum, wheat, and rye – every grain certified organic, milled and cooked on the distillery’s experimental micro-still.
The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection launched in 2006 as the distillery’s ongoing program of small-scale bourbon and whiskey experiments. Over 30,000 experimental barrels age in Buffalo Trace’s warehouses, each crafted with unique variations in mash bill, wood type, barrel toasting, char level, and aging conditions. Selected experiments are bottled and released in limited quantities in 375ml “lab-style” bottles, each labeled with detailed production notes – a direct window into how master distillers Harlen Wheatley and the BT team push the boundaries of American whiskey-making.
The mash was distilled into a 130-proof white dog on the experimental micro-still, then laid down in eight new charred white oak barrels at a standard #4 char. The barrels aged 7 years and 1 month in Warehouse H before being chill filtered and bottled at 90 proof.
One of Buffalo Trace’s earlier organic experiments and a benchmark for the distillery’s exploration of alternative-grain mash bills. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
