Review - Buffalo Trace Single Barrel - BCLS

Distillery: Buffalo Trace

Owner: Sazerac

Type: Straight Bourbon

Age: NAS

Proof/ ABV: 90 / 45%

Nose: Very light notes of caramel and vanilla. A hint of lemon is present but very faint. This whisky smells a little thin.

Nose Score: 2 pts

Palate: This has very little heat. It feels like water. Very light bodied and flat. You can get a hint of lemon but that's it. 

Palate Score: 2 pts

Finish: Very short, thin and disgusting. It has a slight hint of caramel mid palate and that's it.

Finish Score: 2 pts

Overall: This bourbon is flat. The nose has the most to offer in terms of tasting notes. The palate is thin and one dimensional with little to no layers. The finish is short with nothing interesting to offer. 

Overall Score: 2 pts

Total Score: 8 pts

Rating: Drain Pour. This whisky is bad. It has very little flavor and anytime you get a hint of something it falls off really quick. The palate is also very thin which made its flatness even more pronounced.
