- Tasting Notes
snow fall during boil and cooling. OG far lower than target. French oak cubes soaked in Buffalo Trace for 1 week, added to secondary for 3 weeks. Initial taste at bottling makes me believe I could have added more Buffalo Trace to the secondary to enhance the burbon flavor. There was barely a hint of burbon. Will probably taste it after 31 days of conditioning, but target 3 months before drinking it regularly.
