Swords (and Glasses) Up to the Knights of the Single Oak Project!
Swords (and Glasses) Up to the Knights of the Single Oak Project!
Recently I ventured to Frankfort, Kentucky with a handful of other spirits writers to digest Buffalo Trace’s exhaustive Single Oak Project. We tasted the five bourbons from the project most highly rated by consumers and voted for the winner. That winner… Barrel #80, whose recipe will be recreated by Buffalo Trace and commercially bottled — in 2023!
The group of tasters were all christened with knightships while we there… Kentucky, style, that is. Raise a glass to my fellow Knights of the Single Oak Project, and get ready for a damn fine whiskey to hit the shelves in a few short years! Huzzah!
Many more insights about the SOP to come… stay tuned!
Here’s every barrel reviewed on one page
