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.

This is a less complex and developed Woodford Reserve. It's got lovely smell that's not quite matched by the taste but still it's very enjoyable if you like spice, wood and vanilla.
I love it and it saved me money because I pay for taste.
I'm a veteran bourbon drinker who started with a Wild Turkey shot in my early 20s, and from there traveled on to JD, Evan Williams and other low- to mid-priced spirits. Later in life, with more wealth and taste, I graduated to higher-end bourbons such as Ambler Old Stout, Booker's, Basil Hayden, etc. I'm constantly trying new bourbons. Pretty much any time my local stocks something I haven't tried, I'm there. Finally got around to Buffalo Trace, and quite honestly this is now my favorite at almost any price. Sweet vanilla-caramel nose, bold charred oak front-end tipple, smooth yet full-bodied mouth feel, relatively long-lasting finish that reaches the nose in a satisfying way. No off tones at all, which for me is rare among a lot of the newer so-called small-batch bourbons like Hudson Bay, which often has a plastic-y undergone that turns me off immediately. BT has a well-rounded palate that hits all the right notes. It reminds me of a better-made Jack Daniels Old No 7. Not like JD Single Barrel or Gentleman Jack, but the classic flavors risen to their best. If you're a JD fan and are looking for something more refined that doesn't completely abandon that profile, this is it.
"Does exactly what it says on the tin" It tastes how tradionally made bourbon should. Big hit of charred wood, some tell tale signs of a young age and a pepperey finish. Simple done. Perfect for a long drink. After all we're not making cocktails here with a £20 bottle.
I’m a big scotch whisky fan. Decided to try this and boy am I disappointed. I really don’t like the taste. It’s just not for me. Gross.
