Buffalo Trace is the flagship bourbon for the eponymous distillery made from corn, rye and malted barley. It’s aged in new oak barrels in historic old warehouses. The award-winning bourbon is batched from no more than 40 barrels at a time, and is aged on the middle floors of the distillery warehouses where the temperature fluctuation is the greatest. A top whiskey, with oodles of vanilla, barrel char and spicy complexity.
Spicy and sweet with caramel, creamy toffee eclairs, hints of cinnamon, rum spice and cereal sweetness.
Brown sugar, toffee apple, sweet oak, custard, oily espresso beans, a touch of chocolate-covered raisins and toasty wood.
Good length with sweet spices, cinnamon gum and toffee.

buff trace is not spicy. it is quite sharp, very malted in character, but not spicy.
Looking at the reviews makes me think I got a dud bottle. This is like a little kiddies drink but at a price no kid could afford. All I got was a massive burst of sweetness. The sweetest bourbon, or for that matter any drink I've ever had. Then it's like water, goes down easy & the taste is instantly gone. Don't know if I'd ever spend that much on this ever again but the bottle is a good addition to my collection anyway.
I'd like to give an update. We put bitters in it. And it tasted much better.
Spicy. Although, everything is spicy. We appreciate the buffalo and the bottle history. When you put a whiskey ice ball in it, it does taste a little watery. Most bourbons taste like honey on my lips, but this one doesn't. What do other reviewers think of their "unparalleled reputation"? I don't feel transported to the Great Buffalo Trace -- I wish I felt like I was on the trail, sipping my bourbon. But, all around, this is pretty good.
...to my "Knock-out" review posted below. This stuff is simply amazing.
