With 6k tastes I guess I'm not adding much with my notes so this one will be for me. Nose - cherry, though a bit medicinal vs one for a cocktail. Vanilla and younger unfinished oak comes together. Overall I'd like more age here and at 10 years it comes off a touch younger, but a pretty good overall first impression. Taste - those cherry notes on the nose come though, they add to a vanilla cake, and toasted oak. I'm not sure what char buffalo trace uses on these but it's coming off more on the toasted than dark char. Really great example of what a good bourbon should be and a great expression of buffalo trace's unique flavors. So 30-40 these days, hard to find, allocated most places. Is it special? No, not really. It's a good value. Will i buy it again? Oh yes but I'm ok with spending 100 on a bourbon so this is a well type drink for me. If you spend less on whisky then this might become less of an easy purchase but I still fully recommend it as long as you don't get hit with high secondary prices. Debating the score, this one must be a 3.0. It's just the perfect bourbon. It is in today's market when available (and in some markets it is always there) one of the best buys you can make on the shelf. I'm not sure if I'm lowering my standards due to access to quality bourbon in 2019 but for me this is high quality whisky at a great price. But you're not yet in the special levels or even closer to those.
