Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed October 13, 2021 (edited November 11, 2021)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
Kelly's Liquor pick SiB. Very different from regular BT. In BT I get a lot of sweet vanilla and brown sugar that transitions to leather, mint, and a little bit of spice. This SiB: better mouth feel, very rich. Nose is a similar, and palate trends much heavier and less sweet. Still some good wood influence, but more leather and tobacco. Finish is disappointingly short. The mouth feel of this SiB beats regular BT, but the finish imo is a little lacking compared to regular BT - the blending and batching probably adds depth and a multitude of flavors that this SiB lacks. Struggle between a 3.75 and 4. Definitely worth the money but personally not my favorite profile (I prefer sweet and wood). But, the SiB experience and difference from the batched product is definitely eye opening on how much single barrels can vary from the blend, so we'll give it a 4. I imagine the ceiling on these barrel picks are sky high, and the floor can't be much lower than this.

    I’ve not had great experiences with these - my maths suggest 3/5 are worse than standard, 1/5 are equal and 1/5 drink like Rock Hill Farm… not terrible odds but the 3/5 aren’t really worth drinking
