Title:
Buckner’s 15 Yr SP - Buff Turkey
Description:
Buffalo Trace produced the bourbon using the typical Wild Turkey mashbill of 75/13/12 (corn/rye/barley) and then Wild Turkey aged those barrels. Given that the juice was so far afield from anything else that Wild Turkey has done (or Buffalo Trace for that matter), they didn’t want to use it and sold off those barrels, being gobbled up by numerous NDPs who have been more than happy to parse it out to eagerly waiting Bourboneur’s. These barrels have varying flavor profiles, but across the lot you can expect a common thread of sweetness.
What Exactly is a Buff Turkey Bourbon? Yes, indeed, that is a barrel label that states the distillery is Wild Turkey, but the spirit’s name is Buffalo Trace. This odd juxtaposition isn’t your eyes playing tricks on you, it’s a unique and interesting nuance. Buff Turkey bourbon is fourteen-to sixteen-year-old bourbon that was produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery for Wild Turkey. If you think back, in 2009 the Campari Group acquired the Wild Turkey Distillery from Pernod Ricard, and in 2011 invested $50 million to expand the distillery. It was during this time of expansion that concerns about being able to produce enough bourbon arose and from that concern, an unlikely partnership with Buffalo Trace to make bourbon for them.
This Buffalo Trace-distilled bourbon is considered a unique product, as it uses a Wild Turkey mash bill but is made with Buffalo Trace’s other ingredients, processes, and entry proof (125 instead of Wild Turkey’s 115).
