In 1874, Adam and Ben Chapeze created the now famous Old Charter whiskey brand. Named in honor of arguably the most well-known white oak tree in America, Old Charter Oak symbolizes the pivotal role that oak barrels play in making of great American Whiskey. Old Charter Oak reveals the hidden flavors in a wide array of oaks as they influence this diverse collection of bourbon whiskeys.
Aged at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this Bourbon gains it’s unique character from being aged in the finest oak barrels from Canton Cooperage. The distiller’s silent partner, the oak barrel gradually influences the spirit’s flavor, with the quality of the barrel’s wood giving the distiller the ability to subtley adjust the flavor to fit their vision. Harvested from the forests of the best American white oak, these trees were made into staves that were carefully hand sorted and selected. Stacked with a specific technique in the Canton Kentucky wood yard, they are then seasoned in the open air and moisture to ensure optimum open air seasoning. Enjoy this bourbon that honors the Finest Oak, and raise a glass to it’s storied journey from forest, to barrel, to bourbon.
