Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - Sunny sawdust, spicy buttered caramel, and a hint of deep raisin come to mind when merely nosing the glass. Entreating a sip of this well-loved bourbon brings a resplendent spiciness of the rye component forward with bites of clove and nutmeg that are quickly followed by softening elements of sweet corn, vanilla wafer and a touch of bitter cocoa nib. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended) (Great Value) (Tried & True Award).April/2019

Whisky Advocate 90 points - Buffalo Trace is so firmly committed to the handle size that most of its core whiskeys are available in the format. Although offerings like W.L. Weller 12 year old and Eagle Rare might not be the easiest to find, the flagship Buffalo Trace bourbon is a fine option. At 90 proof, it has a viscous mouthfeel and an inviting aroma of vanilla and toffee. A sweet, though not cloying, sipper, it has notes of leather, toffee, and anise-plus a long finish, making this the rare large-format bourbon that is easily sipped neat..July/2018

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.
