Buffalo Trace was one of the first bottles I purchased at the very beginning of my bourbon journey nearly three years ago(!). I enjoyed it at the time, but I had no real context. Soooo many bottles have been consumed since then, and I now have an abundance of experience to compare it to. So here's my "Buffalo Trace Homecoming" review 😄. The nose is fairly mild with slight alcohol and the customary oak. The palate... surprisingly creamy on the tongue. Was not expecting that. Spicy tingle on the back of the tongue; slightly sweet; more oak. Can't pinpoint the specific notes I'm getting. I'm supposed to be getting "vanilla" and "cinnamon". Not getting those tonight. Will see what might come out on subsequent pours. The finish is medium with some lingering sweet notes. Many swear by BT. I get it — kind of. It's a very good mid-shelf bourbon. Nothing complex about it, but I will buy it again as it is very good for the price.
