Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Description

Clear golden amber colour; floral, caramel, vanilla and citrus aromas; rich, elegant caramel and spice flavours; well balanced

Tasting Notes

The sweet, round corn leads the stampede, drawing in smooth vanilla, dried fruit and citrus, even leather. Were it to stop there, this would be a fine whiskey, but then spicy notes from the secondary rye and barley grains step in, aided by toasty oak for a lively, dry and long finish. The balance is impeccable and the complexity impressive. Great neat, on the rocks or in a Manhattan. Score - 94 (out of 100). (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, Thursday, Mar. 01, 2012)

Serving Suggestion

A versatile spirit, great on its own, in a mixed drink. Try as accompaniment to authentic bbq beef, ribs and chicken or even chocolate based desserts.
