Tasting Notes from Buffalo Trace

Tastes of caramel corn sweetness, mingled with butterscotch and licorice.

The aftertaste is a soft mouth-feel that turns into subtle spices of pepper and tobacco.

Tasting Notes from Buffalo Trace

The aroma carries lightly toasted oak, with dried figs and butterscotch.

One sip brings flavors of sweetness balanced with tobacco and dark spices.

The finish is just long enough to prepare the palate for another sip.

Tasting Notes from Buffalo Trace

The aroma of cooked berries meets the nose, followed by a rich caramel and slightly floral smell.

The taste is bold and full of spice that fills the mouth with a distinct flavor of toasty vanilla, dried oak and pepper.

The finish is long and satisfying with a powerful rye character and lingering hints of fruit.

Dallas’s mom really wanted him to be able to play independently. During a recent visit, we explored several switch options that would activate a toy. After a few attempts, he got the hang of it and was able to activate the switch on his own! The smile says it all! Way to go Dallas! We are so proud of you!
