Produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery, Old Charter 8-Year-Old Bourbon is made with the distillery's mashbill #1. Bottled at 80 proof, this bourbon was aged for 8 years, though recent releases have removed the age statement.
Palate entry features the corn component in its finest grainy sweet state; by midpalate, flavors include caramel corn, cocoa butter, oak resin and honey. Finishes sinewy smooth in the throat.
It runs a little sweet and cookie-like, with some of those classic bourbony leather and spice notes in the finish. More places should use this as a quality well bourbon.
