This high rye single-barrel bourbon from Buffalo Trace boasts a huge depth of flavour, plus a beautiful case and decanter to boot! A great find for an American whiskey collection, or some extremely special Manhattans.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
An excellent after dinner bourbon. Very smooth with a slight taste of cherry wood, brown sugar and perfect smoke tone. Inviting aroma and enough burn to get your attention but smooths out quite well. Snatch it up while there are only a few bottles available.
While I'm not a big fan of bourbon, this is one of the better ones I've tried. It's much more enjoyable than another single barrel from Buffalo Trace I sampled last night, the Eagle Rare. The aroma is rather bland, but the flavor has no objectionable qualities for me, and it has a nice bit of spice to it lingering on. The corn syrup taste of some bourbons is more subdued. The samples were small, but this probably nudges ahead of my previous favorite bourbon, the van Winkle 10; however, it's closer than the price difference would suggest. Karl
