About this bottle

Buffalo Trace uses its Warehouse X for its Experimental Collection of whiskies, aging over 5,000 barrels with occasional limited releases. This 2016 bottling was created using barrels from the Independent Stave Co. These barrels, like others for Buffalo Trace, were exposed to infrared light waves before charring. Specifically, they underwent short & medium wave frequency at 70% power for 15 minutes, followed by a level #1 char before the whiskey was added. This is a limited edition release from 4 barrels, sold in 375ml bottles.

Why there's no score

We have 4 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
