Nose: Caramel, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla and a hint of mint.
Palate: This wheated mash bill carries an extremely smooth, creamy, full bodied, rich palate that you can practically chew on. Hosting a balanced medley of vanilla wafers, caramel, dark chocolate, oak, brown sugar and cinnamon, it’s simply divine intervention that all these notes sing together in harmony and not one overcrowding the other.
Finish: The finish is long, bold and full allowing the palate to loiter for days as it’s got no better place to go. Charred oak, caramel, maple syrup, heat, brown sugar and toffee lingering in the background waiting to be found.
Overall: At 125.7 proof, this juice is as good as it gets and by far my favorite out of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It’s truly a masterpiece in a beautiful bottle waiting to be discovered. Be careful, w it’s accompanying high heat one may be forced to say Dracarys...which can lead to its flavor profiles being overwhelmed, if so add a teaspoon of water and listen to it sing.
