Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon - American Whiskey


Buffalo Trace. Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The well worn tale of the well worn trail can sometimes distract from the fact that although a simple straight forward Bourbon; Buffalo Trace is very good . With an aroma of rich stewed fruit, sweet caramel butterscotch and dare I say sweet chili. 
At 90 proof a few drops of water do not hurt this Bourbon and certainly help release its completely while still maintaining a balance of buttery mouth feel with a sweet dry finish. Don't ruin this sipping Whiskey with soft drink or mixers. This is a price point Whiskey that I am reviewing because I rate it well.

Appearance: Rich Golden Amber + 1
Aroma: Sweet Caramel, Vanilla, Butterscotch, Subdued Oak and very slight Rye finish.
Taste: Caramel, Ripe Fruit, Vanilla, Black pepper, Sweet chili, Rye
Texture: Well balanced across the pallet, buttery with a sweet dry finish
