Buffalo Trace is the flagship Kentucky straight bourbon from the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, here in a convenient 375ml half bottle. The distillery is one of the most decorated in the world and carries more than 200 years of distilling heritage, taking its name from the ancient buffalo paths that once led America's earliest pioneers west, one of which runs right through the distillery grounds. This is the bourbon that anchors the entire Buffalo Trace family, built on the distillery's low rye Mash Bill Number 1, the same recipe behind sought after names like Eagle Rare and George T. Stagg. It is distilled from corn, rye and malted barley and aged in new charred American oak barrels for many years in century old warehouses until it reaches peak maturity, then bottled at a very approachable 90 proof. The result pours a deep amber and offers a complex, inviting aroma of vanilla, mint and molasses. The palate is pleasantly sweet at first, with notes of brown sugar and spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit and a touch of anise, and the finish is long and smooth with serious depth for the price. Consistently rated among the best value bourbons in the world, it earned a top Extraordinary rating at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. The 375ml size is perfect for trying it for the first time, gifting, travel, or mixing without committing to a full bottle. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of a classic Old Fashioned, Manhattan or whiskey sour. Approachable, versatile and endlessly reliable, this is a cornerstone bourbon for any bar.
