- Brand: Buffalo Trace
- Type: American
- ABV: 40%
Earlier batches of Buffalo Trace were bottled at 90 Proof, being 45% ABV, but today this Kentucky Straight Bourbon is available at 80 Proof, being 40%. It is the flagship of the Buffalo Trace Distillery.
The nose is very light and sweet. I get loads of corn and vanilla, a twig of mint and something that reveals rye in the guise of a mild spiciness. The whole is quite light, though. After a few moments it turns a bit dark and sweet with a raisin and some dried apricot. A candied orange peel as well.
On the palate, it is also a lightweight. A touch oily, but not as syrupy as it used to be in previous batches. That is a pity. But taste-wise, it’s okay, even though I get some parma violets and wine gums next to the typical bourbon traits. Again a raisin.
The finish is very short on an almost candy-like sweetness.
Hmmm, this is the least interesting batch I have tried so far.
