Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1 Whiskey 375mL offers a rare glimpse into the earliest stage of bourbon-making—before the whiskey ever touches oak. Distilled from Buffalo Trace’s signature Mash Bill #1 (the same recipe used for Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Eagle Rare, and George T. Stagg), this unaged spirit captures the raw essence of freshly made whiskey straight from the still.

Bottled at a bold 125 proof, White Dog Mash #1 showcases the heart of Kentucky craftsmanship in its purest form. With a creamy mouthfeel, rich corn sweetness, and a touch of grain spice, this small-batch release is both a collector’s item and an educational experience for bourbon enthusiasts who want to taste where great whiskey begins.
