The first pick of 2025 from The Prime Barrel—and what a way to kick things off. Hand-selected from a curated group of 13 barrels, Season Opener rose to the top after multiple rounds of blind tasting. This standout was distilled on November 28, 2016, aged for over 8 years in Warehouse I, Floor 5, Rick 3, and bottled from Barrel #022.
This special single-barrel release from Buffalo Trace Distillery boasts a welcoming 90 proof, making it perfect for both seasoned bourbon enthusiasts and those just entering the world of whiskey. Its mellow character shines in a neat pour, yet it's bold enough to elevate any classic cocktail.
Expect a rich, approachable profile filled with caramel, warm vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle baking spice—a classic Buffalo Trace experience, but with extra character drawn from its unique aging location.
