I got this for $24.49 (375ml) at Total Wine. It's 125 proof, the maximum proof that white dog can be going into the barrel, and it's Buffalo Trace's #1 mash bill, which seems to be 75% corn, 10% rye, and 15% barley.
NOSE: I immediately got a creamy sweetness which I suspect is the large corn component of the mash bill. Then came a little bit of slightly charred grain, melted butter, puffed wheat, dark chocolate, and something musty and woody. Finally there's something nutty, and a sourness. It's surprisingly complex on the nose; I never expected unaged whisky to have so much in the nose. There is much less burn from the alcohol than I expected given the proof - I had to put my nose right down into the glass to get any sting.
TASTE: This is simpler than the nose, containing a beginning sweet note, then corn, butter, and again the nutty and sour notes. There's plenty of alcohol here, but the burn is considerably less than I expected from a 125-proof liquor.
FINISH: This is long, but it's the simplest aspect of this whisky - it's just a woody note, with the recurrent sourness.
I don't believe I'll buy another bottle of this, but for what it is, it isn't bad at all.
