Augusta Distillery Buckner's Single Barrel Bourbon 13 Year Barrel 100 147 Proof
147 proof. 13 years. Single barrel #100. Augusta Distillery Buckner's — the highest-proof barrel in the entire Wooden Cork Buckner's collection and among the highest-proof American bourbons ever commercially released. At 147 proof (73.5% ABV), Barrel 100 surpasses the Barrel 105 (142.71) apex of the 13-year tier by 4.29 proof points.
147 proof is exceptional territory even by extreme-proof bourbon standards. For reference: the most celebrated ultra-high-proof BTAC release, George T. Stagg 2016, was bottled at 144.1 — Barrel 100 exceeds that by 2.9 proof. At this concentration, the bourbon is at or near the physical limit of drinkable barrel strength whiskey. A few drops of water are strongly recommended before tasting, and patience in the glass is essential to allow aromatics to open at this extreme concentration.
