Taste four one-of-a-kind bourbons and learn why each is unique!
Undoubtedly the most extensive bourbon experiment ever undertaken, The Single Oak Project started with 96 individually selected American oak trees that differed according to the number of growth rings per inch and growing location. Each tree was then cut into two parts - top and bottom - yielding 192 unique tree sections. A single barrel was constructed from each unique section. Prior to construction, the stave seasoning was varied five times. The 192 barrels were then charred differently. These single oak barrels were then filled with different recipe whiskeys, at various entry proofs and aged in a variety of different warehouse styles. This experiment reflects the impact of seven different critical variables - recipe, barrel seasoning and char level, tree cut, wood grain, entry proof and aging warehouse - across 192 bottles for a total of 1,396 taste combinations.
No two bottles are alike, and in this rare opportunity you will be able to taste 4 examples unique to Astor’s cellar with guidance from an expert on Single Oak Bourbon.
