#7 Heavy Char (2 of 2)
Barrels were charred with a natural open flame for 3½
minutes, almost four times longer than the standard
55-second char typically used for Buffalo Trace
barrels. The barrels were then filled with Buffalo Trace
Rye Bourbon Mash #2 and left to age for 15 years. The
end result is a bourbon with an oaky aroma followed
by a body that is heavy and complex. It has a smoky
and robust flavor, with fantastic woody notes and hints
of vanilla, fruit and tannin. It is dry and balanced.
