Buffalo Trace Distillery Releases Experimental Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon
Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the latest release in the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection: Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon Whiskey.
Buffalo Trace Experimental Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon explores how lower barrel entry proof influences wood interaction over extended aging, with the wheated bourbon distillate entered at 105 proof instead of its traditional 114 proof. While previous Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection releases have been bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon is bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV) to better capture and highlight the bourbon’s complex flavor profile.
Buffalo Trace Experimental Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon is described as having aromas of “caramel and warm brown spice that are balanced by subtle leather and tobacco notes.” The palate exhibits “full-bodied flavors of oak, earth and dried fig, mingling with a leathery depth and rounded sweetness.” The finish is “long and warming, where spice and fig linger alongside a grounded, oaky character.”
Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection: Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon Whiskey will be available in highly limited quantities beginning this month and carries a suggested retail price of $46.99 for a 375 mL bottle.
