Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Peated Malt Straight Bourbon

Produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the 26th release in their Experimental Collection. It swaps traditional barley for smoked peated malt in their high-rye mashbill, aged 9.5 years in new charred oak barrels. Bottled at 90 proof, it balances subtle smoke with caramel, vanilla, and cherry notes, complemented by hints of leather and baking spices. The peat adds a mineral edge without overpowering, creating a bourbon that bridges Scotch-inspired smokiness with classic Kentucky character. Released in limited 375ml bottles, this expression explores innovative craftsmanship while adhering to traditional bourbon methods.
