The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection: Peated Bourbon is the latest addition to the brand's signature series of spirits that promises to provide an aromatic experience with every sip.
The spirit is crafted with the distillery's traditional high-rye mashbill for the main recipe before adding in peated malt in place of the standard malted barley. The bourbon was then aged for 10 years to achieve a 90-proof ABV before being bottled, which imparts a smoky yet nutty aroma with notes of mahogany, leather, and cacao beans.
The Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection: Peated Bourbon is something of a rarity within the industry given that peat is traditionally reserved for Scotch whiskies. The limited-edition spirit is being offered in 375ml bottles priced at $47 each.
