Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a piece of liquid history: a limited edition bourbon hand-crafted from a maximum of 45 barrels of whiskey aged for at least nine years in the best locations its distillery has to offer. Long ago migrating herds of buffalo carved a path, or trace, through the wilderness of North America and up to the banks of the Kentucky River. During the 1770s, pioneers followed their trail and established a settlement there. Soon they were harvesting American grain, blending it with spring water and distilling whiskey where Buffalo Trace is made today. Buffalo Trace has a complex aroma of vanilla, mint and molasses, a pleasantly sweet taste with notes of brown sugar, spice, oak and leather, and a long, dry finish. It is best enjoyed straight, over ice or in a range of classic cocktails.
