Distillery Notes:
Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led America's first pioneers and explorers westward. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them westward, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Tasting Notes:
This deep amber whiskey has a 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. This whiskey finishes long and smooth with serious depth.
Awards/Reviews:
"One of the world's great whiskies." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
Best Cheap Whiskey - Men's Journal
"Buffalo Trace, renowned for its coveted bourbons like George T. Stagg and Pappy Van Winkle, needs no introduction. Despite its flagship status, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey stands out as a gem of affordability and quality. Men's Journal contributor Brad Japhe warns against underestimating this bourbon, as it offers richness and complexity akin to its pricier counterparts for a fraction of the cost. With hints of vanilla, toffee, and candied fruit, this bourbon delivers a smooth finish that lingers on the palate, promising consistency and satisfaction with every sip."

94 Pts, Great Value, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"Fresh grainy aromas are clean and well balanced. Pleasantly light in the mouth, the flavors gradually turn more robust and they evolve, showing off dried cherry and peach pit, baking spice, light maple, and a hint of char. A classic."
94 Points, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
"Pleasantly sweet nose. Medium body and sticky-toffee flavor. This would be great mixed into cocktails, because the flavor is smooth but bold at the same time; it would blend without being completely lost. Finishes mellow, smooth, with just enough alcohol bite. Easy to like. Think Manhattans and Old-Fashioneds."
91 Points - Whisky Advocate
"Light bronze color. Thick, mature aromas, with notes of subtle spice (vanilla, mint), toffee, light molasses and leather. Adding a little water revealing notes of teaberry, anise, and dark candied fruit. Pleasantly sweet at first in flavor, with notes of brown sugar and spice (vanilla, mint), becoming dry with enveloping flavors of oak and leather. With a little water, more subtle flavors are revealed, including toffee, dark fruit, and anise. The whisky finishes long and dry with significant depth. This is a big exciting bourbon, full of character."
Best Bourbons Under $50 - Breaking Bourbon
"The quintessential bourbon: smooth, well balanced, and extremely drinkable. Everything about Buffalo Trace bourbon feels like it’s been masterfully engineered to be the perfect example of what a bourbon should be. It’s hard to find any faults with this one and that’s by design. A flagship brand needs to appeal to everyone while maintaining a good value. Buffalo Trace will appeal to any level of whiskey drinker. For someone new to bourbon, it’s extremely accessible with its sweet nose and palate, and a finish that introduces a perfect mix of oak and spice. "
