I let this bottle set open for a week w/ a good half taken to see what kind of nose might develop, unfortunately not much there. Malt forward is about it, of course for Buffalo Trace that in itself is something unusual, it's a nice, almost refined malt, but not complex. The unusually low msrp(for a BT product) is warranted. For the scotch drinkers this might be a nicer pickup but for the average bourbonir you probably shouldnt get too excited about this. This isn't some Stagg/Eagle Rare takeoff. The bit of sweet dark chocolate from the malt is about all you get. Nothing special, nothing to write home about, enjoy it for what it is.
