This was outstanding! I always go in to trying an item from Buffalo Trace with the same self-talk: "I'm not going to just buy in to the hype because it's Buffalo Trace. Maybe this is the one I won't like." Once again...Buffalo Trace delivers. Now if I could just get my hands on that WLW bottle....
Nose: Raisins, vanilla, sugar, and...pumpkin? It smells like pumpkin raisin bread. Delicious nose.
Taste: Even more like pumpkin raisin bread but with nuts, honey, baking spices, and a thick texture like honey that coats the mouth.
Finish: Long finish with some spice, oak, baking spices, then changing back to honey and raisins at the end. Goes on for a long time. A great sipper.
VERY impressed. Poor man's Pappy indeed! I've tried Pappy 20 and this isn't quite up to that level but a lot more obtainable (though hard to find). Pick this up if you can find it for a reasonable price. If I had to be "that guy" my one complaint would be that I wish it were a little stronger than 90 proof. I felt like some things may have been lost from barrel proof that I would have enjoyed. Now where can I find that Weller Full Proof bottle??
