Limited edition: Buffalo Trace 90 Proof French Connections
On the banks of the Kentucky River, in the United States, the Buffalo Trace distillery – the most decorated distillery in the world – produces Bourbons. It takes its name from the migrations of bison that left traces along this river, creating new avenues of exploration. His Bourbon wants to be a tribute to the free and independent spirits who had the bravery to follow these paths. Developed according to a recipe created in 1999, Buffalo Trace 90 Proof Bourbon is aged in new American oak barrels before being bottled at 45° or 90 Proof.
Its delicious and silky profile will appeal to beginners and amateurs alike.
Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, a certain fruity freshness emerges first, with ripe banana and white grapes swollen with sugar, as in a sweet white wine. Cereal coats the whole and then spreads aromas of scorched spices, nuts and a touch of putty.
Aeration details the woodiness, showing its raw, bleached side, but without overflowing with tannins. Instead, fruit and toasted cereals continue to take center stage, in an almost pastry-like greediness.
The palate is just as gourmand, melting like a milk chocolate topped with nuts and vanilla. The toasted wood is almost sweet, its toasted side reminiscent of hazelnuts passed through the flame and fleur de sel.
On the finish, slightly more piercing spices like pepper make their appearance, blending like the rest into a tasty whole.
"A pretty treat, an efficient and tasty bourbon standard..."
