NAS
Bourbon
Buffalo Trace
Nose
Pronounced apple-cinnamon with dark cherry and fresh corn-mash sweetness underneath. Fantastic legs consistent with the barrel-proof bottling.
Palate
Apple-cinnamon pie character with cayenne-like heat threading through baking spices and vanilla. Rich, creamy vanilla on the front with mid-palate sweetness and spice that completely coats the palate.
Finish
Exceptionally long and persistent — pepper, cinnamon, and dark cherry that simply refuse to fade, lingering through the sides and back of the tongue.
Exceptional
An assertive, flavor-packed barrel proof bourbon with an exceptional finish and rare apple-cinnamon character that lingers unforgettably.
