StraightBoston Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 According to this link... rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 On the chat recently I referred to it as BTAC, justified seemingly by its age, but Randy B. corrected me, and rightly so it would seem going by this note from John Hansell. I am not sure why it is experimental since the rum is a vatting of two barrels of aged rum but otherwise would seem to be rum made in a traditional way (not e.g., stored for a time in a non-traditional barrel for rum). Anyhow, whatever it is or should be called, it's nice to see this new release and I assume it will be very good. I look forward to more product information on its release, e.g., where the rums are from, distillation method, etc. Buffalo Trace seems clearly to be only the bottler.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I guess I should add that aging rum in a new barrel does not strike me as non-traditional, ditto aging rum in a used barrel. As for Scotch whisky, all kinds of cooperage have been used to age rum. For bourbon it is different since until recently bourbon has only been aged in new charred barrels and not "finished" in any way.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Maybe Trace meant simply it is experimental in the sense of forming part of a line that previously focused on bourbon.Anyway, I am not one to get preoccupied (really) with terminology; as always, it is the taste that counts!Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightBoston Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Here's another post from John about the origins of the BT "experimental" rum:http://blog.maltadvocate.com/2008/01/17/buffalo-tracerum/(I'm on the BTEC mailing list and haven't heard an official announcement yet.)Here's a link to a similar product -- aged in BT casks (but not in Kentucky warehouses!)http://www.royalmilewhiskies.com/product.asp?pf_id=0400000002873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spun_cookie Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 1st Release - Fire Pot, French Oak, Twice Barreled2nd Release - Chard (6 and 10 yr)3rd release - Zin (6 and 10 yr)4th Release - Cab Franc (6 and 8 yr)5th Release - Blended Rum (2 barrels 17yr blend with 1 new and 1 old oak)I have not had the rum yet, but the 6yr Cab Frac was the best to me, but that was because the bourbon was so good in that barrel. Very hard to tell how good or bad these could be with a single barrel... I would not want to bet my products life on any one randome barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 White dog can be good stuff, my late Uncle Gorden used to say he wouldn't drink a whiskey unless he knew the man who made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbible Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 While on a recent distillery tour, we sampled the white dog at a tasting. It was interesting to follow the flavours from white dog through 15 yo as you lost the corn and picked up the oak/barrel influences. I would love to have a bottle from each of the mashbills for samplings/tracking flavours at home. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleblank Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 BT has produced a "white dog" in those cute little .375 L perfume bottles. It's already showing up on fleabay. I think I'll pass on expensive white dog. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanSheen Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I saw that the other day on Ebay, but thought it was just a special release, not a BTEC product. It would be excellent if they made that white dog available at retail as a learning tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 It looks like the White Dog is going to be a gift shop item at Buffalo Tracehttp://www.kentucky.com/106/story/719619.htmlTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanSheen Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks Tom. It's a great idea. I'll def. be buying one of those. It will be fun to show it to people, see, this is what your drinking started out as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubacroc Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 BT "white dog" in .375 L bottles has been available in the Louisville area at the Liquor Barn locations for three or four weeks.I was shopping for Derby Festival supplies and passed on the wd. Might get a bottle for guest to sample at our tastings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERITAS Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 According to John Hansell, the next releases will be Fine Grain Oak and Coarse Grain Oak... should be interesting to taste the difference between these two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Chuck Cowdery has a blog entry about the two, including the tasting notes provided by BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalMan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 These have begun landing as early as Friday of last week. I got the call on Tuesday saying that they were in. I was able to pick up two of each of the fine grain and coarse grain, looking forward to trying them out in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Pollito Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I'm looking forward to see if the boys at bt start using fine grain for some bourbons in the future. Perhaps we're in store for a golden age of bourbon in a decade or so. How about Handy, and Stagg aged in fine grain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
