This is a single barrel of bourbon selected by a local wine merchant, Rileys Wines of the World, from Buffalo Trace. It comes in at 45% ABV and features mashbill 1. I've had some real winners from this shop in the past, so I'm curious to see how it is. Let's dive in.

  • I could go for a little more oak here, which feels weird to say, but overall I think it’s a winner of a barrel all the same. I’d drink more of this, and I plan to.

  • Nose:

    Honey, toffee, caramel and bright fruitiness. Mild on the oak, big on cherry, orange peel and mango. Light vanilla, faint cassia, mostly caramel and fruits.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel. Honey, peanut brittle, caramel bright orange peel and cherry.

  • Finish:

    Long, rich, bit of musty tobacco. Honey, more cherry, and some oak. Good blend of fruits, caramel and oak.

  • Overall:

    I could go for a little more oak here, which feels weird to say, but overall I think it's a winner of a barrel all the same. I'd drink more of this, and I plan to.
