Good ‘ole AAA 10 Star. I’ve had this bottle for about 4 years, and I’ve been through a few bottles of these in past as well. This bottle has a laser code from late 2014. This has no age age statement (so to speak), but print on the neck says it’s at least 36 months old. Although I’ve heard and read things that puts this older, I have no idea - but it comes off to me as being fairly young. The last time I was at Buffalo Trace, I tried to get more info on the age but I was unsuccessful.
N: Corn, maple, vanilla, oak, brown sugar, light banana and apple.
P: Corn, maple syrup, brown sugar, light allspice, vanilla.
F: Thin, allspice, oak, light pepper and mint.
I typically like corn forward bourbon (Wathens, Old Tub, Garrison brothers, etc..). This is corn forward as well, but it’s not as dominant as the bourbon’s mentioned above. I don’t see this one much anymore. I would usually buy it when I saw it. It’s fairly cheap; I think around $16 a bottle? It’s been awhile so I’m not sure what it goes for now. Maybe more expensive now like everything else. After drinking much better bourbon over the years, I don’t really miss not finding this so much, but I still retain a soft spot for it. Bottom line - it’s nothing to seek out really. Although, It’s decent for the price.
