History
Right on one of the banks of the Kentucky River, on the westward buffalo migration routes, stands the Buffalo Trace Distillery. For more than 200 years, the distillery has been producing the famous bourbon using corn, wheat, malted barley produced and coming from Kentucky and Indiana. The whiskey can be aged for at least 8 years in new American oak barrels; today the distillery is one of the most awarded in the world.
Production method
The disciplinary that regulates the production of Bourbon is, all in all, a very precise and severe disciplinary; in fact, to use the word Bourbon on a bottle of whiskey, surely one of the most important indications is that the distilled and used raw material must be at least 51% corn. It is also stipulated that the whiskey must be produced in America, aged in charred American oak barrels, and cannot be bottled at an alcohol content greater than 40°.
Alcohol content
40%
Tasting notes
Amber color with golden reflections. On the nose notes of caramel, vanilla, mint leaves and roasting. On the palate it is powerful, with a good structure but counterbalanced by a great softness and mellowness; the vanilla and toasted notes are confirmed.
Usage
Perfect at the end of a meal or as a meditation; particularly recommended for lovers of soft, vanilla whiskeys but still with a good structure.
