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.

I don't often dip into bourbons, but thought i'd give this a go after picking up a bottle on offer at my local supermarket for £20, and have to say it's far better than i thought it would be. It's no world beater, but it's not harsh, has a easily drinkable quality with a decent nose, and makes a nice occasional change - at this price it's great value, so hard to be too critical
I have always wanted to try buffalo trace ... I purchased a bottle with high expectations ... I was was my let down ... it just wasn't for my palate ... I have always drank makers and will continue to do so ... not saying it is bad it's just not my taste ...
At first try I thought it tasted outstanding. Then after, it’s been hit or miss. Some days it taste sweeter and smoother than other days I have it. It’s the same bottle. So all I can think is that something I ate that day is making the bourbon taste different. I’m sure it’s that but haven’t quite put my finger on it. Had it last night and it was great. I don’t notice this fluctuation with other bourbons.
Buffalo Trace is interesting and while it is similar to Eagle Rare (both from the same distillery, probably same mashbill?) with the berry notes and cocolatey flavour, it actually offers a larger spectrum. But you can tell it's younger, corn dust immediately goes in your face and overpowers any depth it could have. If you want to have some fun then sure, but if you just want something to enjoy and relax with I'd go the extra mile and get some Eagle Rare. Still, for that price it's one of the strongest pick if not the.
This is a great bourbon for the price full of flavour it's a must try
