Buffalo Trace is the flagship Kentucky straight bourbon from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, made from a mash bill of corn, rye and malted barley. It is a wheated-free, rye-forward bourbon with vanilla, caramel, toffee and toasted oak notes and a long, mellow finish. It is the entry point to the distillery's lineup and one of the most widely recommended everyday bourbons, prized for balance rather than brute proof. Reviewers consistently call it smooth and easy-drinking, which makes it a strong first bourbon and a dependable mixer, though some experienced drinkers find it too gentle and want more proof and depth.
