Made at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Yearly allocations released in the fall with an even smaller allocation the following spring. .

Tasting Notes
"The nose has Madagascar vanilla, vine-ripened fruits, honey, and wheat. On the palate, you'll find maple sugar, butterscotch, nutmeg, and Red Hots. Dried fruits and sweet caramel continue through the decently long finish. "
