I reviewed this once before, on April 7 of last year, but I have more experience now than I did then, and I'm better qualified to evaluate the stuff. One thing is the same - I liked it then, and I like it now. For reasons that I can't understand, Buffalo Trace doesn't release their mash bills, so all I know is that this stuff comes from Mash Bill #1, which apparently has 10% rye or less in it. This certainly isn't a spicy whisky, so that makes sense. It's 90 proof, and has no age statement. I came away from Kelly Liquors without a receipt, so I can't be sure how much I paid, but MSRP is $25, and that sounds about right. NOSE: The first note was a combination - it was like smelling butter mixed with honey and cinnamon (when I was young, we used to put honey butter on toast, and it wouldn't be hard to mix the spice in with that). Then came brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, creamed corn, buttered toast, and some sort of stone fruit - either peaches, apricots, or nectarines, but I couldn't figure it out. MOUTHFEEL: Silky, if a bit thin. TASTE: Honey, peaches, cinnamon, bananas, and a tinge of oak. FINISH: Short, with the two notes of honey and cinnamon. SUMMARY: This is apparently a junior version of Eagle Rare (or the Eagle is a senior version of this), but this Buffalo Trace bourbon is the more flavorful of the two. Especially considering that Eagle Rare costs a bit more, I definitely prefer this juice. Buffalo Trace is a sweet, pleasant bourbon, and I'll buy it whenever I get a chance - which, in Albuquerque, won't be often. I'll more often buy Bluff Springs, which is a good alternative to this one. RATING: I use an eight level rating scale which comes from my Texas hick English. I've recently revamped it, assigning numbers, stars, and X/Y ratings to the core, which is in words. This bourbon is: 7 right fine 4.375 stars 87.5/100 8.75/10
