Old Charter Chinkapin Oak 750 ml

Old Charter Chinkapin Oak is a limited-release Kentucky bourbon from Buffalo Trace's Old Charter Oak series, which finishes the same base whiskey in barrels made from different oak species to show how wood alone changes the spirit. Chinkapin oak is a fast-growing, porous species that pushes more wood sugar and spice into the whiskey in a shorter time than standard American white oak. Expect a nose of vanilla and baking spice, a palate leaning toward caramel and clove, and a drying, oak-forward finish. A pick for bourbon drinkers curious about barrel wood as much as mash bill.

How to drink Old Charter Chinkapin Oak

Neat or with a few drops of water is the way to taste the oak character this release is built to showcase; ice will mute the spice it's known for.
