Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon - 70cl 40%

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is distilled, aged and bottled at the most award-winning distillery in the world.

The bottle is cut to an easy-drinking 90 proof and, because it’s made alongside your Staggs, Wellers and Van Winkles, every bottle is a lottery ticket. You could wind up with a normal bottle of Trace or something a little more special.

This whiskey ages in new oak barrels for years in century old warehouses until the peak of maturity. The taste is rich and complex, with hints of vanilla, toffee and candied fruit. The smooth finish lingers on the palate.

It’s a rare affordable bourbon that checks boxes for ability to drink neat or in cocktails.

Nose: Spicy and sweet with caramel, delicious toffee eclairs with a hint of cinnamon, rum spice and cereal sweetness.

Palate: Brown sugar and yet more sweetness from toffee apple, sweet oak, custard, oily espresso beans and a touch of chocolate-covered raisins.

Finish: Good length with sweet spices, cinnamon and toffee.
