130.9 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Buffalo Trace
Frankfort, KY
$49.95
Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (low rye, below 10%)
Nose
Dark chocolate, cinnamon, cherry, oak forward, baker's chocolate notes, little bit of cherry and cinnamon, lovely oak presence
Palate
Full bodied, rich, heavy, mouth coating like cream covering the palette, chocolate present, little bit of sweetness not overpowering, some heat at 130 proof but less than expected, burnt toffee notes, fires up the mouth making it water, cinnamon and cherry take over slightly, oak ever present
Finish
Medium to long finish, serious hug building on the chest, slow burn, deep hug on the chest, Kent's wild bite to it
Noteworthy
A powerful, well-crafted high-proof bourbon with creamy mouthfeel and rich oak influence that drinks smoother than its 130.9 proof suggests, best enjoyed by experienced bourbon drinkers in a contemplative setting.
