Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection - Rediscovered Barrels Whiskey 19 Year Old · 1991 Vintage
Out of stock
Created from eight barrels that were found uncatalogued in the distillery’s warehouses. Because key production records were missing, the spirit is classified simply as whiskey rather than straight bourbon.
Matured in new charred American oak, the long ageing brings a deeply developed profile shaped by extended wood influence, offering a rare and distinctive expression from the distillery’s experimental programme.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany edges.
Nose
Opulent vanilla and toffee rise over deeply toasted American oak, with ribbons of caramel and dark fruit compote. Spices—cinnamon and clove—linger, while hints of leather, tobacco, and cedar unfold in the glass. A whisper of char and resin underscores the long, wood‑driven maturity of these Rediscovered Barrels, previewing a rich, refined aroma.
Palate
On the palate, vanilla and toffee collide with maple sweetness and dried fruit, guided by a lush oak backbone from extended aging in new charred American oak. Cocoa nibs mingle with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, while whispers of leather and tobacco emerge. The finish is long and warm, carrying oak-spice and cocoa through a velvety, enduring sweetness.
Finish
Long, warm finish with the deep char of new American oak. Vanilla and caramel meld with spice and toasted fruit, slowly fading into a refined oak grip. The velvety tail lingers, leaving a warm, wood-driven elegance that persists on the palate.
