Old Charter Oak Canadian Oak
$69.99For ten years, this bourbon aged and matured in Canadian Oak barrels at Buffalo Trace Distillery. The long, cold winters and mild summers of Canada’s northern climate make Canadian Oak uniquely suited to crafting exceptional bourbon. This distinctive environment leads to a tighter-grained wood that releases more of its signature oak aromatics while allowing the spirit to be aged longer in the barrel. The finished spirit features a nose of caramel and berries, a palate of vanilla and maple syrup, and a long finish with hints of oak, chocolate and pepper. Raise a glass to the storied forests of our northern neighbors and enjoy this spirit’s journey from acorn to oak to barrel to bourbon.

Old Charter Oak Chinese Oak
Old Charter Oak Chinese Oak is a barrel-aged Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Distilled, aged, and bottled by the Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Each barrel starts as an oak tree in a forest. Enduring the heat of summer and winters that cut to the core, these oaks must stand the test of time before beginning their journey to becoming a barrel.
Every cut matters. White oak logs enter the mill and only the finest leave as rough staves, quarter-cut into the exact specifications for cooperages to create barrels that will hold whiskey for years.
It all comes together at the cooperage. Rough staves are seasoned by the elements for months—sometimes years—adding even more character to the oak. From there, a vessel for whiskey is created and the inside is charred to exact specifications.
Without oak barrels, there would be no bourbon. Oak is a defining ingredient of bourbon whiskey, influencing nearly three-fourths of its flavor. When you drink Old Charter Oak, raise a glass to the storied journey from the forest, to the barrel, to the bourbon.

The result is a bourbon uniquely shaped by the barrel, with notes of cherries and spearmint, a palate of fresh herbs and honey, with a finish of warm baking spices and dark chocolate.
