Purchased a 750 mL bottle of Buffalo Trace for $28. While I prefer Scotch and imbibe primarily Single Malts or Blends, I wanted to expand my understanding and appreciation for Bourbon's.
1st Dram - My basic take:
2nd Take - Ginger Ale Highball
Buffalo Trace really shines when used as a component of a simple Ginger Ale Highball! I had one and was so impressed I had a few more and in short order consumed half the bottle in a single sitting.
While alot of Bourbon's and Scotch Whisky's work great in a Highball, I'm actually quite impressed when using Buffalo Trace.
1st Dram - My basic take:
- Bite - similar to Johnnie Walker Red Label; has more than I'm used as a regular Scotch Drinker.
- Taste - ranges between a Blend (JW Black) and but less than a Single Malt (Highland Park 12). There is alot going on and reason I need a few more drams to appreciate this. It is a bit spicier and some sweetness; but nothing like a Macallan 12 or any Cognac.
- Nose - similar to Hennessey VSOP.
