Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon

My Notes
Buffalo Trace is widely popular as they make some of the best bourbons in the market, and because of that some of their stuff is sometimes hard to get. But this bottle is a perfect entry level bottle to pick up at the store at a price of $35 bucks.
This bourbon is sweet and spiced. I get a lot of confectioners sugar, almost like a birthday cake frosting, as well as some cinnamon and a faint orange citrus on the palette. There is also a good amount of oak and leather on the tounge here too, which round out the sweetness into a really delicious drink.
I often forget how good this bottle is and will sometimes just order it neat at a bar. This would also go really well in an old fashioned, espacially using a bitter that would compliment the cinnamon.
I consider this a best value bourbon, price for taste - you cannot beat this bottle.
