Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 1995 French Oak

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 45%

Score: 86 Points

This limited-edition whiskey from Buffalo Trace was distilled in 1995 and aged for 15 years in a French oak barrel. The nose is full of fruit, with red grapes, raspberries, cherries, and a touch of creme brulee. The taste has a spicy kick that builds quickly with notes of chili pepper and cilantro, a lemon-lime note at the back of the mouth, and a brown sugar note that comes out as the spices fade. The finish is short with notes of maraschino cherries and brown sugar.
