Buffalo Trace
Nose
Bold and expressive with fresh corn sweetness, baked apple, and prominent cinnamon. Dark cherry and earthy undertones. Distinctly bold apple-forward character.
Palate
An expressive surge of Granny Smith apple, cinnamon spice, and cayenne pepper heat. Corn mash sweetness with dark fruit (cherry) notes. The spice is voluminous and peppery, coating the entire palate from front to back. Rich vanilla custard sweetness underneath the spice layer.
Finish
Remarkably long and never-ending finish with persistent cinnamon-apple warmth. Toasted oak backbone supports the lingering spice. The finish coats the sides of the tongue and continues deep into the throat.
Overall Score
5 / 5
A powerfully expressive, spice-driven barrel proof with an unforgettable apple-cinnamon profile and one of the most enduring finishes of the night.
