About This Bourbon
The Single Oak Project was Buffalo Trace's large public experiment into what oak does to bourbon.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Vanilla and toasted oak, caramel corn and sweet baking spice; rye barrels lean spicier, wheat barrels softer and more bready.
- Palate: Brown sugar, char and sweet grain; firm and drying in some barrels, rounder in others.
- Finish: Medium, with vanilla, dry oak and lingering spice.
Serving & Food
Drink it neat beside another Single Oak barrel if you have one, so the differences show. Keep food simple: roasted almonds, aged cheddar or dark chocolate.
Good to Know
What is the Single Oak Project? 192 barrels from 96 trees, each testing one combination of variables.
Is every bottle the same? No. Each holds one barrel from one tree, so each one differs.
