Buffalo Trace

Ah, I bought a bottle...but I should have bought 2.

I may be a complete Noob in relative terms to most serious Whisky drinkers out there but I've tried a good few bourbons and I know what I like. And to those that have to have Bourbon on the rocks I'll say this...I fully reccommend this (even just for the first glass) without. It's liquid velvet and tastes like a bargain at that price - I agree with axelrod it should be twice the price it's that good. Try and you will not be dissapointed.

Having read the rave reviews for this whiskey, and the distillery's other products, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did! This is excellent. Much more complex than most bourbons available in the U.K.. Tastes of vanilla, and woodsmoke, but also a pleasant hint of menthol. Nicely balanced, and very easy to drink. Excellent value too!

Par excellent bourbon. So smooth despite its strength - perfect over ice. Smooth and sweet, with a delicate clean aftertaste of peat/damp wood. Outstanding! Yummy! More! More! More!

Can't belive this only cost just over £20. Buy a bottle, you won't be disappointed...

Tastes Great and very easy to drink.

What a cracking Bourbon

My drink of choice at the local Wetherspoon establishment, so easy to drink...but now they stock Bulleit

Great stuff. Tastes pure and sweet. Caramel and cinamon, with a cool, fresh after taste. Drank half a bottle on a friday night without realising it, and still felt great in the morning. Magical stuff.

I have to admit it ,i did,nt go looking for Buffalo Trace, i stumbled upon it while in London on a pub crawl,well im glad i found it,personally i think it knocks the socks off , you no who and that is,nt a bad drop either,BT has this indescribable sweet flavour and depth ,just lovely.

An outstanding, big flavoured bourbon with a very appealing price.

Buffalo Trace is a great bourbon for its price and makes a fine addition to any american whiskey collection.

Spent half a Lifetime as a Beer Salesman, and always enjoyed a shot of good Whiskey in the Morning and Afternoon. Buffalo Trace is the Best I've ever had! By Far! And in the past 40 years I've tried them all.

Nose (undiluted): Rich corn husk, vanilla, maple. Palate (undiluted):Smooth! Layered flavors of corn, vanilla and slight hickory smoke. Damn! This is good! Finish (undiluted):Tangy, easy spiced rye and some drying black licorice. Wow! Black licorice and charred American oak. Hmm, hmmm good, like Mom?s apple pie with extra cinnamon coolin? on the window sill with a tea towel covering it on a sunny day.

first time for me not a bad bourbon nice after taste will try again

Im vexed as to why so many scotch drinkers taste this and say "meh its ok, but im not a bourbon drinker"??. If your not a bourbon fan, then dont rate it. As chance has it I love both but my tastes lean towards bourbon simply because I like sweeter whiskeys. BT is a fine rye bourbon its smoother that Wild Turkey and remarkably easy to drink. People that say this is entry level must be entering the market on a lift as there are a ton of bourbons below this i could deem 'entry level'.

a good bourbon. will drink again. i like the fact that whiskey differs from distiller to distiller. so many flavours,so many bourbons. nice.

you cant really compare bourbon with single malt, its like comparing chocolate with crisps. just appreciate it for what it is, a classy bourbon whisky which laughs in the face of jack daniels. top class.

I still consider myself to be a beginner in terms of whiskies but, while I do enjoy single malts, scotch and american whiskies, I have a soft spot for Bourbon. Buffalo Trace is a real classic bourbon in my view with a real smoothness but still a nice spice in the nose. Always so difficult to review whiskies as taste is so subjective but I do think this is a real quality whiskey and very good value for money.

It is ok now and again but as a regular drink it is quite ordinary and bland. I suspect some of the more over the top reviews are trying to be too clever. A good Single Malt would beat this every time!
