Buffalo Trace Wheated Bourbon Barrel – Fresh Dumped, Once Used
Straight from the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery, these freshly emptied, once-used wheated bourbon barrels are primed for a second life. Crafted with a mash bill that swaps rye for wheat, they offer a softer, sweeter profile—perfect for aging beer, spirits, or other creative infusions. With an age range of 4 to 10+ years, these barrels have absorbed layers of deep flavorExpect rich notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, with the signature smoothness that makes wheated bourbon so sought after.
Sourced directly from the iconic Buffalo Trace Distillery, these fresh-dumped, once-used wheated bourbon barrels have aged bourbon for anywhere from 4 to 10+ years, allowing them to develop deep, complex flavors. The wheated mash bill creates a softer, sweeter profile, which lingers in the wood long after the bourbon is emptied.
The barrels arrive at our warehouse straight from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. You can expect a smooth yet complex flavor to be imparted on your barrel-aged beverages.
