Review by: Mishima
Color: Heavy oaken brown in the bottle, lighter, buttescotch yellow in the glass
Nose: The Jungian archtype of Bourbon measured out in 30 ml: The first rising sweetness, corn syrup thick till it is almost maple. Underneath the wood plays, american oak and Kentucky summer, a shy spiciness that imitates nuts, burnt toffee, cinnamon. It is the long wafting must of a plantation home, the fetid aroma of nostlagia and decay.
Body: An easy medium, swaggers without pomposity. Slick but not oily.
Palate: It is not the saccahrine swill the nose sometimes suggests, but fufills the undercurrents, the elegant, wonderfully restrained wood dominates instead, allowing the nebulous spices a word in here and there.
Finish: It is not until after you swallow that you get any sense of alcohol from this whiskey. But like a lingering resentment it comes all at the end, fierce and brutal - a heaving fire that smolders down to a tingle that will slowly fade, leaving a velvet thickness in your throat. And a touch of dark chocolate my senses discovered long before but my mind could not evoke.

Buffalo Trace is polished, elegant enough for a cigar and smoking jacket scene, without losing the raw frontieer spirit credentials that the word Bourbon evokes. It is a quiet unassuming bottle, affecting no pretensions, but its plummable depths, and easy swilling straight from the botttle attitude marry together the two worlds of whisky without compromise.
