Buffalo Trace - Experimental Collection Oversized Barrel 500L Straight Bourbon Whiskey

As the third and final experimental release of 2023, we continued to test the effect that barrel size had on the finished product. A typical bourbon barrel holds 200L, and in this experiment we aged bourbon barrels in two larger

barrels - 250L and 500L - on the same floor for the same amount of time. The results revealed that the 500L had a lighter finish than the control barrels, altering the balances between the oak and the recipe.
