Tried this after OWA. User OLDPARKERJOE nailed it:
‘ose is nearly indistinguishable from OWA. Green apple. Brown sugar and maple syrup. Caramel. Very classic nose with the green apple Buffalo Trace signature. OWA is in my top 3 so this is a good start.
Palate is pleasant. More of a low key version of OWA given the proof. Round mouthfeel. Hints of chocolate but mainly caramel and maple syrup. Damn good. Finish is medium, slightly lacking but not bad.
I like higher proof so currently giving the edge to OWA but this is damn good.’
The 12 is a great pour, a little on the sweeter side than I would like (this likely shines through due to the lower proof). I put this behind Weller Full Proof and Antique, In that order. Interested to see where CYPB will line up.
