On the nose, this was very similar to how I remembered Buffalo Trace. Very corn forward, but with an added depth from the barrel. On the taste though, totally different. Very oak forward, though not lots of tannins. It also had this sour and astringent note... I'm not sure if it was just the the bottle I tasted from, or just how I was feeling at the moment, but I found it off-putting. Or maybe it was just not what I was expecting--i didn't get the fruitiness other tasters described. Maybe I'll just have to try it again another day...
