About Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This vivid imagery isn't a fantasy; it's the reality at Curiada, a marketplace catering specifically to passionate cocktailers. Now, let's talk about a star product that stands pole to pole with this description: Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Buffalo Trace is to bourbon what the Beatles are to music.  Everyone knows it, and for good reason -- for the price and availability, choosing to buy Buffalo Trace Bourbon is one of the best decisions you'll make. And guess what? This gem is available for purchase at Curiada, promising 2-5 day delivery. Now, getting an excellent bourbon has never been easier.

This bourbon hails from America's oldest continuously operating distillery and is the namesake, as well as the largest product of the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Buffalo Trace is sufficiently elusive, often proving hard-to-find, thereby adding to its appeal. Yet, it's known and found the world over in almost every cocktail bar and home bar.  The distillery also produces some of the most sought after bourbons in the world, including Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey and Larceny Small Batch Bourbon.

A bit of trivia for you cocktailers out there.  What other cocktail bar staple is made at the same distillery?  Well, it's Peychaud's Bitters, the mainstay of the famous Sazerac cocktail.  And who owns the distillery?  The Sazerac Company, of course!  It's all coming together now, isn't it?

More importantly, Buffalo Trace's low rye mash bill, double-distilled using a column still, gives it the subtlety necessary to be a wonderful mainstay for bourbon cocktails.  Whether in bourbon-forward cocktails like the Old Fashioned or in cocktails where bourbon plays a supporting role like the Sentimental Gentleman, this bottle can help them shine.

Tasting Notes

Wonderfully aged for eight years, Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon Whiskey, boasting excellent reviews, is a true standout. On the nose, you'll notice notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, along with a hint of spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of toffee, brown sugar, and baking spices, as well as a subtle smokiness that lingers on the finish. This bourbon is indeed a star in the Whiskey universe.

Production Details

Buffalo Trace is made with a mash bill of corn, rye, and barley, double distilled in a column still, and aged for at least 8 years in charred oak barrels. The barrels are carefully selected and blended to ensure consistency and quality, and the resulting whiskey is bottled at 45% ABV. The distillery also offers a range of other bourbons and whiskies, including Eagle Rare, Blanton's, and W.L. Weller.

Indeed, it's clear: Good bourbon, like Buffalo Trace, is a matter of craft. But finding it at an excellent price? That's a matter of shopping at Curiada.
