2019.
Very smooth and sweet. Classic bourbon vanilla and toffee. Totally delicious palate, but relatively thin and one-dimensional. Negligible finish. To me, it’s a direct competitor to Elijah Craig. Ultimately, that means it’s an extremely respectable bourbon, delicious, and a great value for the money at $24. Potentially worth up to $35 or $40 on its merits (tasted blind) depending on your palate. Might be worth up to $100 based on the label and scarcity economics. Not worth whatever in the world $300+ it costs on secondary. Do your part and ignore it if overpriced. Otherwise: great stuff, Buffalo Trace. Thanks for making great bourbon!

@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington not surprised at the similarities (and great score to find some on the shelf, if only for the opportunity to taste).
Had a friend do a blind tasting with this and a BT store pick. I promised to bring the CYPB out at some point during the night but didn’t say when. CYPB was a unicorn find, $50. The BT pick was probably $40. The two profiles were close enough that he looked ready to cry when I told him the CYPB had gone down the hatch. Strongly agree with paying $50 or less but don’t lust for it. BT is giving the people what they want, more BT.
