Oh man…if you don’t know about Buff Turkey you’ve been under a rock.
Short version is that before the expansion at Turkey and while their fermenting tanks were down; Turkey contracted Buffalo Trace to make distilate for them to sustain no-gaps in production. The 73/13/12 Turkey mashbill with BT grain and yeast.
This DID NOT use the proprietary WT yeast and probably whey Turkey off loaded it all
I was early to the selection of these and many people said at that price they would probably pass…..between the time I selected this and its release more and more became aware of what incredible Bourbon this is and EVERYONE wanted as many as they could get
People were posting on secondary for this bottle from barrel 28M before it was even released and offering over $900 for a bottle….at this point I punted my tater idea and created the First of a series of Chasing Bourbon “Bearer Bond Series” and a sticker that cracks me up to this day
