Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash 1 375 ml

Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1 is unaged new-make whiskey, bottled straight off the still using Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #1, the same low-rye bourbon recipe behind their standard bourbon before any barrel aging happens. Because it skips the years in a charred oak barrel, there's no caramel or vanilla color or flavor here — what you get is the raw grain spirit itself, distilled from a corn-forward mash with a small amount of rye and malted barley. Expect a hot, grainy sweetness with corn and cereal notes upfront and little of the complexity barrel aging normally provides. It's less a sipping whiskey than an educational bottle, showing distillers and curious drinkers what goes into the barrel before Buffalo Trace's flagship bourbon happens. This bottle suits whiskey nerds who want to taste the starting point of the process.

How to drink Buffalo Trace White Dog

Take it in small sips at room temperature to really taste the raw grain character, or use a splash in a cocktail that calls for moonshine or unaged corn whiskey. It's not built for casual sipping the way the aged bourbon is.
