Buffalo Trace Barrel Pick by Great American #298 Bourbon 1L

INFO Selected by Great American Craft Spirits, this 1 Liter private barrel delivers a richer and more decadent profile than standard Buffalo Trace releases.

Built from Buffalo Trace’s iconic low-rye Mash Bill #1, this barrel leans exceptionally smooth while still delivering bold flavor and richness throughout the palate. The extra depth and sweetness from the barrel selection create a more expressive and flavorful version of the classic bourbon profile fans chase.

As it opens up, softer notes of candied orange peel, fresh oak, and light baking spice begin to develop underneath the sweetness. Palate:Exceptionally smooth and full-bodied with layers of buttery caramel, vanilla cream, and rich toffee coating the palate upfront. Mid-palate introduces notes of cinnamon sugar, baked orchard fruit, sweet tobacco, and a touch of citrus brightness that keeps the bourbon balanced and lively. The oak influence is soft and rounded rather than overly dry, allowing the sweeter dessert-like character of the barrel to shine. Finish:Long, rich, and warming with lingering notes of buttercream frosting, caramel candy, toasted oak, and gentle spice. The finish slowly fades into sweet vanilla, light anise, and soft charred oak that keeps you reaching back for another sip.   SHIPPING  *SHIPPING NOTICE- If possible, please use a business address for shipping.
