Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat Recipe Straight Bourbon (2023 Release)

My curiosity got the best of me. I had been wanting to try this, and I way overpaid. Cherry and wheat on the nose. Definitely some heat there on the palate with caramel and slightly bitter oak.

Therefore, I would only buy this again if it was less expensive than both Larceny and Maker's. No more allocated bottles for me. From now on, I will stick to my usual guidelines of not paying more than $40 for a 750 mL bottle of whisk(e)y.
