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.
Buffalo trace was my entry burbon whiskey , found good to sip sitting at evening near fire .
Bought a bottle after enjoying a tipple on a recent trip to the States (ah, holidays, when will we see you again?). Something wasn’t right. Further investigation shows its bottled at 45% ABV in the States but we get a 40% ABV version in the UK. Makers did this in 2013 and were pilloried, why have Buffalo Trace been allowed to get away with this? It’s can only be to make more money because the flavour is near absent. Shame. Won’t be buying again. This is bourbon for getting drunk, not for drinking.
Yeah baby yeah. Notes of loffing it
Stick of seaside rock sweetness, demerara sugar in hot filtered coffee, curious damp chalk on the palate, an absolutely superb bourbon, top shelf.
Went to get some bourbon found this on offer £17 a bottle. Wow, better than more expensive bourbon's Drink neat, no need to add any coloured carbonated sugar water.
