"The Buffalo Trace Single Oak barrel 80 starts at 125 proof and comes from the bottom half of a tree with 13 rings per inch. It was aged in a concrete storeroom, and the average wood grain staves were seasoned for 12 months."
"The nose on this bottle is pretty light, with notes of butterscotch, caramel, and brown sugar. The hue is a beautiful golden amber, reminiscent of a sun-kissed late summer afternoon."
"If you can score a bottle of the Buffalo Trace Single Oak - regardless of which barrel it is from - I suggest you do so. The rarity of this makes it a collector's dream, but beyond that, there is a complexity worth savoring."
The Buffalo Trace Single Oak project began in 1999, selecting 96 white oak trees to produce 192 unique whiskeys.
