But the small, strongly-secured structure isn’t something to be overlooked. In fact, the $1 million investment is home to possibly the distillery’s largest experiment to date, a scientific endeavor so detailed that it might just put Buffalo Trace on the path to gold – or, the perfect bourbon.

Nothing has ever scored that high, so that’s our goal. And we’re trying all these different kinds of experiments to try to get there.”
