Mash bill
Full grain split not published.
Buffalo Trace wheated mash bill (exact percentages unpublished) — wheat replaces rye as the flavoring grain, the W.L. Weller lineage thesis. C.Y.P.B. is the same wheated DNA as Special Reserve / Antique / 12 Year, selected and aged to match what over 100,000 survey respondents voted as their perfect bourbon.
