Buffalo Trace - Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

""Outstanding aroma kicked off by a spicy prickle. Satisfyingly deep gently vanilla-ed and molassed with even a sprig of sweet mint. Palate: A rip-roaring waxy sweetness checked by a big buildup of vanilla-rich oak. Corn is chewy and rye offers a rich textured background. Finish: Dries at last as the oak takes command but rye offers extra depth and a layer of bitterness as does a lingering licorice. Big moody uncompromising and complex beyond belief. ""One of the world's great whiskeys."" Jim Murray Whisky Magazine"

"Initial aroma displays elements of spice sautéed butter and old leather gloves; following aeration the fat/butter component dominates. Palate entry is corny sweet and almost fruity; at midpalate tastes include sweet oak cinnamon nutmeg honey tar and beeswax. Concludes spirity and feisty. One of the greatest values in the worldwide whiskey category. Best Buy. - P.P. (4/1/2005) Superb/Highly Recommended"
