Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection - Made With Rice Whiskey 9 Year Old · 2002 Vintage
In stock
Who would have thought that America would produce the first rice grain based Whiskey and not Japan (who to my knowledge have never released a single whisky made from Rice in the Uk?) Corn and malt are also used in the mash but the rice gives a real syrupy/stock syrup feel to this small batch experimental whiskey from Buffalo Trace (they are not allowed to call it Bourbon as it is not made from at least 51% corn) Notes of melon, runny honey, apricot breakfast bars, cherry, menthol and gentle spiced oak.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Juicy melon and runny honey lead, unfolding into apricot breakfast bars, bright cherry and cool menthol. A whisper of spiced oak frames a subtle, syrupy undercurrent from the rice-based mash, lending the nose a refined, teasing sweetness.
