First time review. Enjoying a glass neat from a buddy. Nose - vanilla overload on the nose. There is a bit of mint and baking spices. Taste - heat on the tongue at first as expected from the proof. A ton of vanilla, Smokey oak char, and a little bit of cinnamon. Very full very balanced sweet with heat. Overall - great offering from Buffalo trace. Very well balanced which is what you want in a bourbon. Surprisingly not much heat at all but just enough to let you know it’s there.
