Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1

Marcus started a discussion

Has anyone tried this? I was given a bottle as a gift, and wanted to hear if anyone has experience with it. It is 62.5% ABV, clear white, and is a corn, rye, and malted barley blend. It is a raw distillate; the precursor to bourbon. Had a couple sips so far. WOW!!! Very heavy alcohol burn, almost a tequila-like nose, definite corn palate, with a bit of leather and wood on the finish. Lots of alcohol taste and aftertaste.

I've never tried white dog. It's not really intended to be sipped neat like whiskey, as far as I know (though it's not against the rules). BT's #1 mash is the distillate that turns into Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, George T. Stagg, and maybe others. Mash #2 is the higher-rye that goes into Benchmark, Elmer T. Lee, Blanton's, Rock Hill Farms, et al.
