LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The best value bourbon on the planet. Its richness, age, and complexity punch far above its price point, making it the darling of bartenders and enthusiasts alike.

The Library Note

The distillery is named after the ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River. For over 200 years, they have been crafting bourbon on this site, persevering through floods, fires, and Prohibition to remain a standard-bearer for American whiskey.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Deep aroma of vanilla, mint, and molasses.

THE PALATE

Sweet and complex with notes of brown sugar and spice, followed by oak, toffee, dark fruit, and anise.

THE FINISH

Long and smooth with a serious depth of character.
