A mass-produced bourbon that regularly matches the Buffalo Trace single barrel selects, if you can’t find the BT store picks, grab one of these. Nose: candied walnuts and butterscotch with hints of cherries Palate: a bready, slightly fruity, vanilla spiced bourbon. Very balanced Finish: medium with more spicy vanilla and fruits. Not as deep and rich as the Taylor Single Barrel, but a great choice for fans of BT’s mashbill #1. It’s generally less oaky than say Eagle Rare because of the shorter age the Taylor Small Batch receives.
