Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 45%

Score: 93 Points

This 8-year-old Bourbon was crafted to replicate the same conditions as the winning barrel in Buffalo Trace’s Single Oak Project, in which consumers picked their favorite from 192 different barrels over a four-year period. The nose has touches of caramel, butterscotch, honey, soft spices, and sweet oak. The taste has a good balance of sweetness and spice with caramel and butterscotch notes complemented by black pepper and cinnamon. The finish is long and smooth. (May, 2026)
