Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a well-regarded and widely celebrated bourbon produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States. It is made from a blend of corn, rye, and malted barley, following a traditional mash bill used at the distillery.


This bourbon is known for its smoothness, balance, and rich flavor profile. Buffalo Trace features notes of vanilla, caramel, toffee, and a hint of oak, accompanied by subtle spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The whiskey also has a touch of dried fruit, such as apricots, and a slight hint of pepper, making it complex yet approachable.


Its smooth finish is warm and slightly sweet, with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.
