The lone wheated offering from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this bottle is also one of the most overlooked. An absolutely amazing, yet gentle giant. This one is NOT to be missed even if you only have the chance to buy a dram in your local bar.

A rich Bourbon Whiskey that is about 12 years old bottled at 68.1% ABV. It has a relaxed birth with notes of caramel, plum, leather & a hint of grassy tobacco; while life is sweet with notes of brown sugar, nut, honey, licorice, oak, tannins, hints of dried fruit & vanilla; that lead to a long & delicate death with notes of black cherry, spice, wheat & pepper. December 2017 / July 2018 / January 2019 / July 2022
97/100* *I rank my whiskey based on a 100 point scale. It is a cumulative score with each category of nose, taste, finish, and balance worth up to 25 points. Here is how this score translates to the number of stars I give: 0 stars = 50 or below 1 star = 60 2 stars = 70 3 stars = 80 4 stars = 90 5 stars = 100 The score is rounded to the closest 1/4 star increment.
Wow. Warm, cozy maple sugar sweetness on the nose. Akin to opening a bag of caramel corn. This reaches every corner of the mouth and coats it in blanket of buttery goodness. Caramel, cinnamon, smoke and oak. Rich and sweet all the way down. Comfort bourbon. If it gets better than this, I’ve yet to find it.
2012 release... Maple sugar, caramel and oak on the nose. Ridiculously smooth on palate, potentially cinnamon. Finished with minimal burn given the proof. Lived up to it's billing. One of the better bourbons I've tried.
Throw an ice cube in it. Give it a little bit for the cube to settle in and then enjoy what a full bodied wheated bourbon can really be.
Neck to neck with the Pappy's, but without the insane histeria. Buffalo Trace's best, balanced whisky.
