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.

Great Bourbon
Excellent whiskey at a decent price. Very smooth and great flavour
I have always drank JD, Buffalo trace blows it out of the water, a fantastic tipple very smooth finish, enjoy.
I think this is a very good bourbon one of my all time favourites as is all the bourbon produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillry
As a long-term malt whisky drinker from Scotland I used to quite wrongly brush Bourbon to the side as cheap grain. I have tried my first real bourbon tonight (beforehand I had only ever tried Jack Daniel's old No. 7 which isn't bourbon, and it is terrible) and I am truly enjoying it. It smells like vanilla, oak, cream, maybe a bit of chocolate and definitely Cherry Cola. It tastes creamy, very slightly spicy, a bit nippy on the finish (but I am willing to look past that small infraction for the price). It could be described as slightly 'sizzly' on the tongue and it is just a really tasty drink. I would recommend this for a long-term Scotch whisky drinker who wants a new experience. Note: This whisky (and every spirit in my opinion) absolutely must be drank from a Glencairn Glass, it is the glass that allows people to get good tasting notes by funnelling the fumes from the spirit. They are only £4.50 or something on this sight (or £20 for 6 I think), if you are buying a bottle of whisky or whiskey, just bite the bullet and invest in one of these glasses, it improves the flavour and the overall experience by at least ten times.
