Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375ml

Product Description

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: The Everyday Bourbon in a Half Bottle

The bourbon that put Buffalo Trace on the map, in the size you can carry. Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley, Mash Bill #1, aged in new charred oak and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). The 375ml half bottle holds about eight generous pours, which makes it a good way to try it, gift it, or keep a spare in the bar.

The distillery describes a deep amber whiskey with an aroma of vanilla, mint, and molasses, a pleasantly sweet palate of brown sugar and spice, with toffee, oak, dark fruit, and anise, and a long, smooth finish with real depth. Wine Enthusiast scored it 94 points and called it an easy one to like in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. It’s sweet-leaning but not cloying, smooth without being thin, and priced like an everyday bottle. Pour it neat, over a large cube, or into an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or a whiskey highball. The half bottle is a stocking stuffer, a bag-friendly bottle for the cabin or the game, and a safe gift for anyone who likes bourbon.
