About the product
Buffalo Trace Old Charter Oak Fine Oak is part of the distillery’s Experimental Series, designed to explore how different oak species influence bourbon character. This release is matured in barrels made from fine grain oak, resulting in a distinctive and refined profile.
On the palate, it opens with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, followed by layers of baking spice, light honey, and subtle fruit. The fine grain oak contributes a smoother, more delicate wood influence, enhancing balance without overpowering the bourbon’s core sweetness.
The texture is soft and well-rounded, leading to a smooth, medium-length finish with lingering vanilla, gentle spice, and light oak.
Innovative and nuanced, Old Charter Oak Fine Oak offers a unique perspective on barrel influence, making it an appealing choice for both collectors and bourbon enthusiasts.
