Buffalo Trace Distillery is releasing the 26th bottle in its ongoing Experimental Collection. And this one has a flavor unlike any of its bourbons. The Experimental Collection: Spirits Distilled from Grain and Hops” has a unique hoppiness that fans of whiskey and beer might enjoy, according to the announcement.

Buffalo Trace’s new whiskey is called “Spirits Distilled from Grain and Hops,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like. First conceived by BT’s master distiller Harlen Wheatley more than 10 years ago during a bitter beer boom, the new whiskey seeks to discover what a whiskey would taste like if it were imbued with hoppy flavor.

There's been a lot of news coming out of Buffalo Trace over the past few months, mostly concerning the release of highly allocated unicorn whiskeys like Pappy Van Winkle, the Antique Collection, and the second edition of the Prohibition Collection.

Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley infused a raw distillate with Czech-grown Saaz hops and American-grown Zythos hops for thirty minutes. The post Buffalo Trace’s new Experimental Collection spirit is perfect for hop heads appeared first on The Manual.

Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the 26th release from its innovative Experimental Collection: Spirits Distilled from Grain and Hops.

Buffalo Trace announced on Wednesday the release of an "experimental spirit" distilled from grain and two varietals of hops. The whiskey brand shared that the spirit was ideated as part of the brand's Experimental Collection over ten years ago — presumably when hoppy beers like IPAs were all the rage.
