Buffalo Trace is one of the most awarded bourbons in the world, distilled at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, where whiskey has been made continuously since 1773. The flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon is built on a mash of corn, rye and barley malt, then patiently aged in new charred oak barrels in the distillery's century-old warehouses on the banks of the Kentucky River.

In the glass it shows a deep amber colour, with a complex nose of vanilla, mint and molasses leading into a rich, pleasantly sweet palate. Brown sugar and warming spice sit alongside layers of toffee, dark fruit, oak and a touch of anise, before a long, smooth finish carries serious depth without harshness.

This pack of twelve 50ml miniatures is ideal for gift hampers, wedding bonbonnieres, sampling flights, hotel bar setups or simply keeping a backup pour in the desk drawer. Drink neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of a properly stirred Old Fashioned.
