When it comes to wheated Bourbon its hard to look anywhere else but Buffalo Trace and one of the stand-outs from the their annual "Antique Collection" releases.The 2016 bottling features 145 barrels which were filled in the winter of 2003 at 114 Proof (57%), with the whiskey drawn in autumn 2016 after 12 years and 7 months of aging at 135.4 Proof (67.7%) and bottled unfiltered. . A big, sweet Bourbon with plenty of pastry notes and creamy vanilla plus lots of spicy flourishes and complexity from the 12 years in oak.Thankfully buffalo traces listens to its consumer requests as with out them we might not have received a well aged barrel strength bourbon like this.
