After hearing a lot about this bourbon lover's staple, I finally had a chance to experience the famous Buffalo Trace. Sweet corn dominates the nose alongside caramel and brown sugar. Spices follow-up on the palate with a melody of fruity notes and syrup that remind me of candy I enjoyed as a child. The finish ends with a lingering blend of corn and summer fruits - enjoyable nonetheless. All-in-all, I quite like this bourbon! At 90 proof (45% ABV), it made for a very easy sipper. I had it neat, but on the rocks or in a cocktail would be delicious, too.
NOSE: Corn, sweet corn, caramel, brown sugar
PALATE: Cinnamon, nutmeg, confectioners' sugar, cough syrup, grape syrup, bubblegum
FINISH: Corn, bubblegum, strawberries
Rating: 82/100
Grade: B-
Not-too-bad - no major flaws, worth tasting.
