Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

About

Buffalo Trace Low Entry Proof Wheated Bourbon is an experimental bourbon from Kentucky that reflects years of dedicated research. Matured at a lower barrel entry proof (105 proof instead of the traditional 114 proof), this wheated bourbon was inspired by pre-Prohibition practices. This reduced entry proof influences wood interaction during aging, resulting in a unique flavor profile that honors tradition while embracing innovation. On the nose, rich toffee and caramel notes emerge, followed by ripe apple and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is well-balanced and approachable, with caramel, vanilla, and honey harmonizing against soft spice and oak. The finish is warm and pleasant, with subtle peppery notes that linger gently. This accessible bourbon demonstrates how thoughtful experimentation can enhance the classic bourbon experience.
