Buffalo Trace Bourbon

Smooth and oaky

For $25 its pretty much impossible to beat. (It also makes the best old fashioned's). Its got a cherry note thats very pleasant and the faintest hint of that grape note in the higher end BT products. Again I prefer higher proof juice but real recognizes real.

Spicy, sharp, somehwat herbal. Maybe some cinnamon and caramel...maybe. Strong.

Best bourbon under $40 (in my opinion) that goes with everything. Easy to sip, and great in an old fashion. My go-to pour before sampling other bourbons.
