Old Charter Oak French Oak is a distinguished Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged for 12 years at Buffalo Trace Distillery. This bourbon draws its unique character from barrels crafted from French oak, known for its tighter grain compared to American oak. This tighter grain imparts more subtle flavors and a silkier texture to the whiskey. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of vanilla with hints of apricot, cherry, and rose petal. The palate is thick and creamy, reminiscent of maple syrup, with the oak flavor coming through. The finish is long, featuring notes of chocolate and toasted oak. This expression exemplifies Buffalo Trace's dedication to exploring the diverse influences of oak on bourbon, making it a noteworthy addition to any whiskey collection.
