Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Oversized Barrel 500L Bourbon 375ml

The Oversized Barrel 500L, part of Buffalo Trace's Experimental Collection, revolutionizes whiskey aging by introducing an unprecedented size that transforms the maturation process, infusing the spirit with unmatched flavors and complexities. In examining the impact of barrel size on the final product, bourbon was aged in larger barrels—250L and 500L—alongside the standard 200L, all on the same aging floor and for identical durations. Surprisingly, while the 250L showcased familiar flavor notes similar to standard barrels, the 500L revealed a distinct character, rich in tannins, oakiness, and dryness. This pioneering experiment underscores Buffalo Trace's dedication to challenging conventional norms in whiskey craftsmanship, offering enthusiasts an exceptional tasting journey beyond traditional boundaries.
