Tastes

Smooth drinker with the characteristic Buffalo Trace berry notes.

It's a smooth drinker, and has what I can only describe as a classic bourbon profile. Pretty run of the mill for the price point. Try it at a bar before you buy a bottle.

Grabbed a bottle from the distillery this week on a trip through KY. Big fan of 1920, so I was eager to see how it stacks up. Lots of indistinct baked-good flavors to pick over. I keep coming back to Irish soda bread (raisins!). It's not all dessert though, there are ripples of that heavily charred oak which I'm guessing will be a turn off for some, and probably also why they dialed back the proof. All in all it's its own thing, and worth the price of admission.

Wow! Really stellar juice. Loads of fruit to the point of almost tasting cask finished. Dangerously smooth for the proof.

Wow, this was a flooring pour. Creamy smooth marshmallow hot cocoa upfront, followed by creme brulee. I didn't get any of the orange that others report. A truly luxurious dram!

Floral and spicy with a great mouth feel. The faceted bottle looks great on any shelf. For thirty bucks give or take, it's a steal.

Signed up just to share some quick notes on this one. 1920 enters silky & creamy, with waves of banana bread followed by a slow flow of holiday spices. Really a fantastic pour deserving of a much higher Distiller Score. The only thing left to be desired is better presentation as the bottle is pretty generic looking.
