In 1773, three McAfee Brothers named James, George and Robert left Virginia westward to explore the uncharted territory that would later become known as Kentucky. Traveling by canoe at first, the McAfee Company eventually followed a native trail overland that led to the great buffalo crossing, where the brothers surveyed the land now home to the world’s most award-winning distillery – Buffalo Trace Distillery. The surveyor marks left behind are known as benchmarks and this bourbon whiskey honors the pioneering spirits of these early American explorers.

The nose bears caramel notes with a delicate stone-fruit backdrop. A robust and sturdy palate with some fine leather notes mingling with dry tobacco, a touch of oak and a hint of dried cherries. The finish is smooth and calming.

Smooth, with caramel and vanilla!

Buffalo Trace Value

This is a good value from a popular Buffalo Trace mash bill at a fraction of the cost. However, because this is a younger bourbon I recommend that it is mixed.

Great for the price

As the description says, it comes from Buffalo Trace. At the price it was, I had to give it a shot and it was worth it. Easy to sip on at the end of a long day.

Westward is always a winner!

Mission is one of the few Westward vendors. Everything Westward is good, and I especially love how they support female distillers!
