LONG TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION & TASTING PROFILE

Buy Buffalo Trace Bourbon 750ml and you’re getting the same core mash bill and distillery expertise behind the brand’s far more allocated releases, at a fraction of the cost and effort.

The Profile

• Spirit Type: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
• Proof/ABV: 90 Proof (45% ABV)

• Mash Bill: Mash Bill #1 (low-rye), the same recipe used for Eagle Rare, George T. Stagg, and Elmer T. Lee

Sensory Tasting Notes

The Nose

Brown sugar and vanilla lead, with a distinct mint note the distillery’s own tasting panel highlights as a Mash Bill #1 signature, backed by light toasted oak.

The Palate

Medium body carrying caramel, toffee, and a soft anise note; noticeably rounder than most bourbons at this price point, with restrained oak given the moderate age.

The Finish

Medium length, closing on brown sugar and light spice with a clean, non-astringent finish that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

The Heritage

The distillery itself — renamed Buffalo Trace in 1999 after operating continuously through Prohibition under a medicinal-whiskey permit — has become the most awarded whiskey producer in the world at competitions like the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the flagship bourbon exists specifically as an accessible entry point to that production standard. Collectors don’t chase this bottle directly, but bar and retail buyers treat it as the benchmark against which the distillery’s harder-to-find single barrel and BTAC releases get judged.
