Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a Bourbon Whiskey from the Buffalo Trace Whiskey brand crafted in United States .
Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a classic Kentucky bourbon that's been distilled at the same site since 1787, making it the oldest continuously operating distillery in America. Interestingly, during Prohibition, this distillery was one of only four in the country permitted to produce whiskey for medicinal purposes, ensuring that the art of bourbon-making survived through those dry years.
Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon Whiskey stands out for its rich history as America's oldest continuously operating distillery, dating back to 1773. Its unique flavor profile, featuring notes of vanilla, mint, and molasses, is the result of a proprietary "low wheat" mash bill and aging in charred oak barrels within century-old warehouses, making it a distinctive choice for bourbon enthusiasts seeking both tradition and complexity in their glass.
Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon Whiskey shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavors, though it also makes a fantastic base for classic whiskey cocktails. This versatile bourbon is a year-round pleasure, but it's especially comforting on crisp autumn evenings, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like barbecue, aged cheeses, or rich chocolate desserts.
Nose: Vanilla and caramel dominate, backed by hints of brown sugar and cinnamon. Light oak notes and a touch of mint add complexity. Subtle fruit aromas of apple and dried orange peel emerge with time.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Caramel sweetness leads, followed by toasted oak and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavors of toffee, dark fruit, and a hint of cocoa develop. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel.
Finish: Long and pleasantly warm. Oak tannins become more pronounced, balancing lingering sweetness. Notes of vanilla, spice, and a touch of leather fade gradually. A slight mintiness refreshes the palate at the very end.
Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted using a time-honored process that begins with a unique mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. After fermentation and distillation, the spirit is aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least eight years, allowing it to develop its signature rich flavor profile and amber color.

View RecipesAlways a good well-rounded bourbon straight up, on the rocks, or in a classic Old Fashioned. Trying to find a bottle when you need it tough though. Keep one in reserves.
I buy this for my younger son whose preference this is. I can afford more expensive but if I were on his budget I’d get this every time. In NJ this is rare and brings twice the price.
Very good, too much effort trying to buy at the state store, ordering it is definitely the way to go.
Awesome bourbon! Probably best I've had. Curiada price was great, shipping was a little pricey. I probably wouldn't order again but Buffalo Trace is hard to get in my area.
While I don’t have the tasting experience with Whiskey like I do with Rum, Bourbon Trace is so far the best Bourbon I’ve tried.
