When we asked Beau Beckman, Barrel Select Manager for Buffalo Trace to pick a different single barrel from 5 different warehouses, each from one of 5 different floors, we were sure he’d say “no, too complicated,” but when the answer came back “yes,” we immediately got to work, building 5 amazing different flavor profiles which would reflect the CORE flavors produced at the historic Buffalo Trace distillery. We asked that the single barrels be bottled as 375s so we could offer all 5 at an amazing price! All the single barrels are a MINIMUM of 8yrs old, barreled in February, March, and April of 2008, packaged in a neat box.
