    Buffalo Trace makes life really tough for craft bourbons. Most of them are twice the price and half as good.

    My life wouldn't suck one bit if I was limited to Buffalo Trace, WT 101, and Rittenhouse Rye. Really happy I have other choices, but I love that there are great products available that are totally affordable.

    Buffalo Trace is my favorite bourbon! I loved going to Frankfort to the distillery for any of the seven tours when I lived in Louisville. Now I keep a little bit of Kentucky as decoration in my house; a bottle of Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare and Wild Turkey 101.

  • @scooter2d2
    @scooter2d2 6 років тому +9

    Solid! Yes, absolute best way to describe this bourbon for sure. It is in no way shape or form a “lower” end bourbon. It’s more of an all around welcoming whiskey and lets itself stand up and be proud of what it is. Great neat, on the rocks, and wonderful in mixers. And you wouldn’t be apt to feel bad for drinking it any way you wish since it is roughly going for $23-ish on the shelf.

  • @libartstech

    I came from finding bourbon really strange about 20 years ago and now having found this new hobby being a home bartender, gradually finding bourbon my favourite whiskey at the moment. Buffalo Trace is at the top of my list along with Four Roses. I have started to appreciate drinking it even neat at times. Glad to find your channel, such a nice way to learn more about bourbon, thank you so much for your content! Liked and subscribed immediately, you are a charming couple and so knowledgeable about bourbon. :)

    Buffalo Trace is a spotty find in NY (and a little pricey) , but whenever I see it, i pick up a couple of bottles, and of course stock up when I am in KY! As you say it is a SOLID bourbon. Not one that I particularly enjoy straight, BUT a great cocktail bourbon. It works very well in Manhattans , Old Fashioned or with Coke and on Ice. It holds up nicely but does not over power in cocktails. (Not my cup of "tea" in a Julep as I like a bourbon that keeps it;s identity and is not overwhelmed by the mint.) It definitely deserves a place on the shelf and does yeoman's work at parties!

    I forget more than I should to not take for granted how available good bourbons are around here... It's very very rare around my region to NOT see even the most basic supermarket-y small liquor stores to NOT have multiple single-barrel offerings, and premium stuff like Eagle Rare, Knob Creek single barrel, Bookers, Blantons, etc.
    Traveling out West for work/school, it makes my head spin what people are paying for stuff that is stupidly common around here. Al la' Jim Beam black, BuffTrace, Wild Turkey--that kind of stuff.
    If you happen to come to Kentucky....check out the ACTUAL distilleries! Most of them do tours for free, or a tiny cost and most do sampling--- the last tour I went on recently let us try a popular bourbon straight FROM the barrel, cask strength. It's a hell of a fun time.
    P.S - if you're from KY, try some Ale-8 with bourbon in it! Match made in heaven, there.

    This is one of those initial "gateway" bourbons that I first tried when I got into whisky a few years ago, then quickly abandoned on my evolution to better (or at least more expensive) bourbons. I just picked up a bottle again on a whim (because it was only $25 and I didn't want to leave the store empty-handed). Revisiting it now, it's much better than I remembered - a great daytime sipper with fantastic flavor but not a punch of complexity or burn.

    Hard to find - I found it in the 8th store I visited. (Savannah GA)
    Hard to find at $25 - I paid $36. A guy I talked to paid $57 a week ago - and he was happy to pay it. He said it was his favorite bourbon.
    Taste? I thought it was ok. I have no idea why people are losing their minds over it. I like the following $25 or less bourbons better - WT 101, Early times BIB, Evan Williams BIB.
    Would I buy it again? For $25, sure. For $36? no way. (to be fair, I only had one taste. I need to try it again and maybe I will re-think it)
    PS - I love your bourbon channel!

    Can't find buffalo Trace in Wisconsin, snagged a bottle last year in Colorado for a good price. I did find eagle rare at one place near me, but it hasn't been floating my boat as much as it was built up from word of mouth. The eagle rare was unfortunately sitting right below a heat vent, maybe that messes with the flavor.

  • @peternt2008
    @peternt2008 4 роки тому

    I just brought my first bottle of Buffalo Trace today , in Australia it sells for $50 + a bottle. My first impressions of it, is that it is a very mild bourbon. This would be a very good entry bourbon for a newcomer to drinking bourbon, maybe even a good bourbon for women to try and not scare them off with a massive burn factor. This is very easy to drink and easy to drink quickly instead of my usual drinking neat and slowly savoring the flavors in my mouth between sips. I would recommend to bourbon newbies as a bourbon they can drink neat. If you want to add coke to something, drink Jim Beam White.

But much of the time I don't see it at all. The bourbon boom reminds me of the cigar boom from the nineties. When that boom finally leveled off there were so many good cigars available and that remains to this day
