Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 70cl - 40% ABV
Made from Kentucky and Indiana corn, selected rye, and superior malted barley, all bourbon produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery is aged in century-old warehouses. Constructed of massive wood beams and covered by a brick shell, these structures allow the alternating cooling and warming of Kentucky's four distinct seasons to mature the bourbon by nature's timetable. Steam pumped throughout the warehouses during the extreme cold of winter compensates for the dramatic drops in temperature and gives the whiskey additional cycles in and out of the wood. This is said to make for a more balanced bourbon as the liquid is able to take additional advantage of the natural sugars occurring in the charred barrels. The distillery was the first to use this method of aging in 1859 and has been doing so ever since.
Hand crafted at the World's Most Awarded Distillery
Buffalo Trace uses the finest Kentucky and Indiana corn, selected rye and superior malted barley. The liquid is gently aged in new American oak barrels to create a perfectly balanced flavour of sweet, oak and spice, leaving a long, smooth finish.
Taste the results of 200 years of Bourbon Craftsmanship
For over 200 years, the Buffalo Trace Distillery has been defined by a dedication to one craft: making fine bourbon whiskey.
Standing on the banks of the famous Kentucky River, The Buffalo Trace Distillery sits at the very point where the river was low enough for the buffalo to cross safely to continue their migration. This 100 foot wide swath across the land became known as:
'The Great Buffalo Trace'
This same migratory route was subsequently followed by influential explorers and legendary pioneers and it wasn’t long until brothers Hancock and Willis Lee established their camp along with a small company of frontiersmen.
Tasting Notes and Awards
Complex aroma of vanilla, mint and molasses. Pleasantly sweet to the taste, with notes of brown sugar and spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit and anise. The finish is long and smooth.
