Buffalo Trace Del Mesa Liquor Single Barrel Select Bourbon Whiskey #057

45% ABV (90 proof) | 750mL | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Single barrel, non-chill filtered | Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky — Buffalo Trace Del Mesa Liquor Single Barrel Select Barrel #057 is Del Mesa's own private barrel pick: one hand-selected barrel of Buffalo Trace bourbon, bottled exclusively for this store. Buffalo Trace's single-barrel store picks are bottled at 90 proof, non-chill filtered, from the distillery's low-rye Mash Bill #1 recipe at the Frankfort, Kentucky distillery — a tradition dating to 1787. This is the only way to get this exact barrel: once it's gone, it's gone. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Single-barrel picks are where a store's palate shows — the same mash bill and distillery as every other Buffalo Trace, but one specific barrel chosen by the Del Mesa team. Among bourbon single-barrel picks, Buffalo Trace's are among the most hunted bottles in whiskey, and a store-exclusive barrel like #057 never hits general distribution. No barrel-specific tasting notes were published for this pick — the house Buffalo Trace profile (caramel, vanilla, baking spice) is the starting point, and the single barrel is the surprise.

Tasting notes

No barrel-#057-specific notes were published. The Buffalo Trace house profile runs: sweet caramel and vanilla with light oak spice and orchard fruit on the nose; smooth, balanced palate of caramel, warm baking spices, brown sugar and subtle citrus; medium-length finish of oak, sweet vanilla and gentle spice. Individual barrels vary — that's the point of a store pick.
