Mash bill
Full grain split not published.
Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 — the house low-rye corn recipe shared with Buffalo Trace Bourbon and E.H. Taylor (exact percentages unpublished; widely estimated under ~10% rye with 51%+ corn). Ten full years in new charred oak turns that quiet grain bill into toffee, citrus peel, and cocoa rather than rye spice fireworks — the grain story is patience over pepper.
