Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Whiskey Review
Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Whiskey is a highly sought-after bourbon produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. The distillery has a rich history dating back to 1787, making it one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States. It has been owned by various families throughout its history, and has been known by several different names, including the George T. Stagg Distillery and the Sazerac Company.
It took me a while, but I finally got my hands on bottle during my last trip down south. The whiskey is made from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, and is aged for a minimum of 8 years in new, charred oak barrels. The resulting whiskey has a rich, complex flavor profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. The finish is smooth and long-lasting.
One of the reasons for the whiskey's popularity is its high demand and limited supply. The distillery only produces a small amount of the whiskey each year, and it is often sold out quickly or allocated to specific markets. This has led to the whiskey being highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts, and it can be difficult to find in stores.
Overall, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Whiskey is a highly-regarded bourbon with a rich history and a complex, delicious flavor profile. Its scarcity only adds to its allure, making it a true collector's item. I’m hoping that it becomes easier to find because it’s a great daily drinker.
I like the look of this bourbon. I enjoy my whiskey to have a hint of vanilla !
Same I don't really don't like peet notes so this is my flavor profile.
Buffalo Trace is some good stuff. I have been able to find it pretty easily at our local Costco. They usually limit you to one or two bottles though. I am hoping to make this one of my stops when I head down there in the Spring. I don't think it is too far of a drive from Louisville. If it were easier to get a hold of, this would definitely be a staple on my shelf.
They were limiting one bottle at the distillery... It was a fun tour I would recommend it. Their campus is so beautiful.
We are definitely going to have to drive over there. Did they have anything special at the distillery that you can't get in the store? I know some whiskey's have special distiller bottles that they only sell on site.
Nothing that I saw other than merch. They had some cigars that looked good.
Ooh, I might be okay with that. 😃
