Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375ml

Product Description

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon 375ml: The Classic Bourbon in a Half Bottle

Buffalo Trace is one of the most trusted names in American whiskey, and the 375ml half bottle gives you the same bourbon in a smaller, easy-to-carry size. It’s the flagship of Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, a distillery the brand calls America’s oldest continuously operating, with roots that go back to 1787. It’s a rich, balanced, easy-to-like bourbon at 90 proof, and it makes a good first bottle for a new bourbon drinker, a gift, a tasting, or a bag for a weekend trip.

The name comes from the ancient buffalo trace, the path that buffalo carved across the Kentucky River and that pioneers later followed westward. The brand introduced Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon in 1999, and Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley has led the distillery since 2005.

How Buffalo Trace Is Made

Buffalo Trace is made from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley, using what the distillery calls Mash Bill #1, a low-rye recipe. The mash is cooked, cooled, and fermented for about three to five days. The bourbon is then aged in new charred American oak barrels in century-old warehouses until it reaches maturity. It’s bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). It carries no age statement. It’s the same bourbon in every size, so the 375ml is identical to the 750ml and the 1.75L.

Why Buy the 375ml

A 375ml bottle is about 12.7 ounces, enough for roughly 8 standard 1.5-ounce pours. It’s a smart pick for:

• Gifts and stocking stuffers: A recognized name at a lower price point.
• Trying it before you commit: Sample the bourbon before buying a bigger bottle.
• Travel and events: A portable bottle for camping, tailgates, and weekend trips.
• Small bars and cocktail experiments: Enough for a few Old Fashioneds without opening a full bottle.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep amber.

Nose: A complex aroma of vanilla, mint, and molasses.

Palate: Pleasantly sweet, with brown sugar and spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit, and anise.

Finish: Long and smooth, with serious depth.

Food Pairings

The brown sugar, toffee, and spice in Buffalo Trace pair well with barbecue, grilled steak, burgers, and roasted meats. It also goes with pecan pie, apple crumble, chocolate mousse, and aged cheddar.

Serving Suggestions

At 90 proof, it’s great neat or over a single ice cube, and a few drops of water open up the fruit and honey notes. It’s also a go-to cocktail bourbon for an Old Fashioned, a Whiskey Sour, a Manhattan, or a Mint Julep.
