Drinking a chilled bottle that was opened about a month ago.. Strong on the caramel and vanilla on the nose, a little hint of apple Spicy taste (good spice) with a hint of sweet, swallows almost like a bottle with a few more numbers in front of it. From the Weller's to the Blanton's to the Van Winkles, Buffalo Trace has got something going and even this cheaper BT is a good choice!
