Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat Recipe 750mL

Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat Recipe Bourbon Whiskey is a unique expression crafted in collaboration with the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc), highlighting Buffalo Trace Distillery’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in the world of bourbon whiskey. This partnership has yielded a Wheat Recipe Bourbon that adheres to Kosher guidelines while celebrating the rich heritage and innovation of America’s oldest continually-operating distillery.
Using the same high-quality grains as the esteemed W.L. Weller Bourbon Whiskey, this Kosher variant undergoes aging in barrels specially designated for this purpose. To align with Kosher practices, particularly during Passover, these barrels are sold to a non-Jewish executive in a ceremony observed by a cRc representative. Although the bourbon itself is not deemed Kosher for Passover, this practice ensures adherence to the broader Kosher standards throughout the rest of the year.
Aged for seven years and bottled at 94 proof, the Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat Recipe Bourbon Whiskey embodies the meticulous care and attention to detail that defines the distillery’s production process. Before bottling, the distillery takes extra measures to clean the bottling lines and prevent any contact with non-Kosher spirits, further affirming its commitment to maintaining Kosher certification.
Tasting Notes:
This Wheat Recipe Bourbon is noted for its subtle sweetness, a characteristic feature of wheat-based bourbons. The sweetness is beautifully complemented by hints of fruit and vanilla, creating a smooth and inviting flavor profile that is both rich and nuanced.
