Buffalo Trace is a Kentucky straight bourbon from the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, bottled at 90 proof and aged roughly 7 to 9 years in new charred American oak. It is a high-corn recipe with an undisclosed mash bill, giving caramel, vanilla and toffee up front, dark fruit and cinnamon in the middle, and a long, slightly smoky finish. It is the benchmark entry-level bourbon: smoother and sweeter than many rye-forward rivals, and more complex than most bourbons in its tier. Reviewers rate it very highly and call it an everyday sipper that also holds up in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
