Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Oversize Barrel 250L

Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection Oversize Barrel 250L is a rare and innovative bourbon release that explores how barrel size influences aging. For this expression, Buffalo Trace aged their traditional wheated bourbon mash in 250-liter oversized barrels—significantly larger than the standard 200-liter size—resulting in a slower, more gradual interaction between whiskey and oak. The result is a smoother, more delicate bourbon with nuanced character and refined balance.
