In 1874 Adam and Ben Chapeze gave birth to the now famous Old Charter whiskey brand.  Names in honor of arguable the most well-known while oak tree in America, the brand was purchased by Louisville distiller Charles Lemmon decades later. Today, the brand name symbolizes the pivotal role that oak barrels play in the making of great American whiskey.  Old Charter Oak reveals the hidden flavors in a wide array of oaks as they influence this diverse collection of Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Aged twelve years at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this Straight Bourbon Whiskey is rich and sweet, drawing its character from barrels made of French Oak. An oak that has long been used for aging the world’s finest, wine, the tighter grain of French Oak imports more subtle flavors and a silkier texture than its American counterpart. Harvested from the forests of France, the oak barrels that aged this unique Straight Bourbon Whiskey are honored with each sip. So enjoy this tribute to the French Oak and raise a glass to its storied journey from forest, to barrel, to Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
