Nose: large florals, rose-honey suckle, rye spice, candied fruits small herbal Front: oily sweet head with big spice portions and very notable barton wood flavoring combine with faint bourbon notes of heather vanilla and dark sugars. Finishes mild with warm spice and sweet after notes This is indeed a rare concoction of a nice rye bill recipe with some unusual herbal floral range and some very good bourbon base flavoring, I like what Buffalo Trace has done here, it's a lot of pleasant flavors and notes with nothing off putting and that includes the relatively mid range price tag you should find on this bottle. If you like a high rye bourbon you won't want to miss this one, an easy addition to the home bar and relatively mild but enticing drinker, with just enough complexity to make it a conversation starter, it just begs to be sipped through the night. Well done BT and cheers!
