Exploring the Legacy of Old Charter Oak Whiskey
In 1874, Adam and Ben Chapeze embarked on a journey that would lead to the creation of the iconic Old Charter whiskey brand. Their homage to the illustrious white oak tree is evident in every sip of Old Charter Oak, a whiskey that pays tribute to the indispensable role of oak barrels in the craft of exceptional American Whiskey.
Crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this Bourbon embodies a distinctive character derived from its maturation in the finest oak barrels sourced from Canton Cooperage. Serving as the distiller's unassuming collaborator, the oak barrel subtly imparts its influence on the spirit's flavor, with the impeccable quality of the wood allowing the distiller to artfully adjust the taste to align with their creative vision.
The journey of the oak barrels begins in the pristine forests of American white oak, where the chosen trees are meticulously transformed into staves, hand-selected with precision. Following a meticulous stacking process at the Canton Kentucky wood yard, these staves undergo a meticulous seasoning outdoors, ensuring optimal air circulation and moisture levels. The result is a bourbon that pays homage to the meticulous artistry of the Finest Oak, celebrating its remarkable evolution from forest to barrel to bourbon.
