Shout out to my father. He's been a mash cook at Buffalo trace since the 70s

About 15 years ago, I worked for a big package store in Indianapolis. Back then, all package stores were closed on Sunday. One week, the owner took the crew down to Bardstown for a private tour and tasting. We tasted 5 barrels and chose 2 to have bottled for our store. It was very cool. It was like spending the afternoon in a bourbon commercial, all the barrels and dust and raising glasses in beams of sunlight.

Finally found Buffalo Trace at Kroger. Only $25 and I'm impressed.

I found it for $27 at a local liquor store, but only after I asked if they carried it. It’s all behind the counter!

Buffalo Trace doesn't get the recognition it deserves, imo. Maybe it's not as complex as some would you, but it has a great nose, great taste, and an excellent value for the price. Just an all-around great bourbon.

It doesn’t get recognized in the mainstream world like Jack Daniel’s or Jim Beam but among cocktail aficionados and whiskey enthusiasts it’s well regarded overall. I think it’s well above average and definitely worth buying.

I have always had a preference towards whiskey, bourbon particularly, and now just hitting 21 I purchase my first legal bottle of liquor, and this is the one I went with. With my limited experience I couldn’t stack it up against other bourbons, especially more expensive ones, but as a “first” drink, it is fantastic. I felt the notes in the flavor were almost buttery from the toffee

Buffalo Trace is the first bourbon/whiskey that I really enjoy. The first time I ever had bourbon was Jim Beam, and unfortunately I drank the whole bottle, and blacked out. It’s 4 years later, and I’m just now starting to enjoy the dark side of liquor again.

I don't care for whiskey much for the most part but I like BT. I think it's funny he doesn't know what anise is. Guess he's never had black licorice

Buffalo Trace compared to more refined Sazerac offerings, you are spot on in your review. Buffalo Trace compared to other whiskeys in this price range, I would put a +2 on all your scores.

Anise is the flavor associated with black licorice. It is pronounced as "a niece".

Great vid as always. I used to drink a lot (some could say I was a “functioning alcoholic”) I quit going on 3 years now because I promised my father on his deathbed that I would never get drunk again and I remain true to that promise till this day. What’s crazy is your personality and demeanor, hell even your physique 😅 is pretty similar so you definitely could have been in his group of friends. I just tell you this because the only time I’ll drink is on his birthday and the day he passed. Like you my dad loved his bourbons and his “Whiskey”. His favorite was wild turkey 101 but the bottle he had the day he passed was a gift box set of good ol crown royal so that’s usually what we drink on those days. As you can imagine after three years between my mom and my 2 sisters it’s getting pretty low so I just wanted to say that after watching your videos I appreciate what my dad was into when he wanted to try and stray away from his traditional wt 101 or his bottle of occasional buffalo trace. I wanted to personally say that I really enjoy your videos and I know that this channel is going to get a million + views with your “smooth” attitude and your “100 proof” outlook on life! ….PS I can also say that I have watched enough of your videos to know that you kind of hate reading a novel/small print on the side of the bottles sooo sorry about the long text btw!!😂😂😂

Hey man - good for you for keeping your promise. God bless.

Your Bourbon for beginners video was spot on about Buffalo Trace, if you don’t like it then Bourbon probably isn’t for you. It’s a great starting point and must have at that price. I just bought one of their Single Barrels! 😋👍

Just picked up my first bottle of thiy today. Gotta say spot on review. I wish the tasting notes were a bit stronger but damn she's smooth. I picked up a bottle for 25 at Wally world. Can't complain.

That’s some really good stuff! Bought a bottle a couple of towns over from me for that price. Then I saw some at a smaller store in town where I live for like double that price. I have since stopped shopping for nicer bottles at my town’s shops and have instead decided to make the trip to bigger stores for better prices haha! Great content as always, much love from Texas!

Love this whisky. It is the bottle that got me to like bourbons without mixers. Been able to find these in Southern Louisiana for around $24.

Hi Brrwzle sir I'm from South Wales uk and I started drinking Buffalo trace because of your recommendation!! Thanks mate I'm sooo glad to you!!! 1st bottle and loving it.

Great review. I just picked up the only/last bottle at my local grocery here in Washington State, on sale from $34.99 to $32.99. It was fun to drink it as you were reviewing yours and pick up on some of the things you were describing.

Buffalo Trace Original was a well serve at most bars and restaurants. Great to see it mature to a more limited service

I've had several bottle's of buffalo trace, each are different. The one I still have has a mellow grape mid pallet that ends with a creamy almost whole milk like consistency. Overall it's sweet flavors make it my go to.

Just picked up a bottle of buffalo today for $25 love it an your video s

My favorite Bourbon. Sometimes I mix it with Squirt and ice... very good.

Just got my 1st bottle of Buffalo Trace today, gave it a whirl and came out with the exact same score of 24 as TJ. It has a great sweetness that gies great as a mixer to a coke zero or sugar-free soda. At the lower end of the price spectrum I can definitely see this working into one of my day to day go to's just lacking on the Proof.

I found this heavy on vanilla. Especially on the finish. Thanks for the video.

I typically get oak forward tasting notes on BT. The other notes are not as pronounced. Still a good solid daily drinker or mixer for old fashioneds or Manhattans.

Just bought a bottle last week. It was $28 a bottle. For that price, I thought that was a good buy. I found it at a Hueytown ABC store. A friend said he bought a bottle in Tuscaloosa. I read where Buffalo Trace was changing distributors and supplies should improve.

This is one I make sure I always have a bottle of on my bar. It’s a little hard to find in the area of Ohio I live, but luckily it pops up every now and again in the local liquor stores I frequent and I am currently stocked with 2 unopened and one 3/4 of the way enjoyed. It’s a damn solid bourbon for any guests to partake in and I actually have no qualms with using it as a mixer for Old Fashions and Kentucky Mules with company at the house.

Love your video's. Great all around.

I agree with Woodford being slightly better but it's also almost twice the price so I choose BT when it's available. Usually use it for an Old Fashioned and quite enjoy it

I bought a bottle of buffalo trace last month online and in my opinion it's one of the best bourbons I've ever drinked but ironically and coincidentally the best bourbon I've ever drinked is made by the buffalo trace distillery and that's blanton's. In my opinion blanton's is the king of whiskey.😁😉🥃

Buffalo Trace is allocated here in Alabama, but I found a little Mom & Pop secondary store just across the Florida border that keeps it stocked for $30 a bottle. She said she can even get 1 or 2 1.75 liter bottles. I love this stuff. To my palate it tastes better than the much more expensive (and rarer) Blanton's Single Barrel.

Just got a bottle of Buffalo from local Tesco here in UK. Really like the Woodford Reserve double oaked I got too.

Definitely not in every store in the PNW but when I found it purchased the last two and a bonus bottle of eagle rare.

Buffalo Trace is my #1 go to, bourbon. LOVE IT

I feel like I get more complexity on the second pour, and I love the smell of the glencairn after I drink it.

For $20-$30 and readily available at most stores I feel like it's the best bang for the buck but I found a bottle of distilled grain vodka for $12.99 for 750ml and it's not completely terrible, thinking about using it for "moonshine" recipes

I can find BT pretty easily in the detroit area. Its not always in stock, but pops up often enough. My local meijer had about 10 sitting on the shelf for $27.99 today. I snagged 3 of them.

Love your work. You are lucky, it’s plentiful over here at about $60 New Zealand bucks ( Roughly $35 US) but ours is now only 80 proof . The difference between 45 and 40% abv is quite drastic .

You can get the 90 proof in NZ. You need to hunt around

Sam's club here in west central Indiana had a 1.75L of Buffalo Trace, I didnt even have to think twice and the bottle was in my cart.

I suspect the anise aroma and taste given more time and mixed into a sweeter profile would become more of a grape taste which happens to be one of the potential flavors some people say they get when drinking Eagle Rare. The flavor and proof jump from those that usually drink just the 80 proof stuff will shock some people who need to get used to the stronger punch higher proof whiskeys provide.

Saw you at the auburn lottery drop! Thought you looked familiar. Ended up getting a lottery spot in line, great day!

We get single barrel Buffalo traces here in Michigan on the line near Toledo quite a bit those are my favorite ones delicious

Anise = Licirice flavor. I am new and cannot find Buffalo Trace in Iowa. I love watching your hunts and reviews.

Loving your stuff! Have you considered four rose's review?

I agree with you on this. I like BT but prefer Woodford Reserve.

Can get this every day up here in Alberta ...one of my first bourbons..love the stuff...great deal for 34=36 bux Canadian...

I like it very much and have some now but the price varies wildly from $34 to $43 around Chicago.

Anise is similar to licorice. I picked up a bottle last night for $24. Wal Mart had a dozen or so bottles.

Went to a liquor store this week and they had their own single barrel select of trace for only $30 but sadly one per customer

I agree with everything in this video (except the BT fanboy freakout lol) including the final score. Regular Buffalo Trace is fine. If you can find it for retail, great. Get some. But if someone is asking for $50 (like I saw last week), I'm instantly walking away. Same with Weller Special Reserve. Woodford is a good comparison, but at the end of the day, all of these are fine bourbons that taste like, well, slightly above average bourbon.

Easy to get hold of in Scotland in super markets and in Costco would love to get the others but never saw them over here

BT is one hell of a straightforward tasty pour with no complications or complexity to worry about. Just a fine tasty pour. If you want complexity, there are other options out there. Weller SR I would classify in the same regard but IMO BT beats Weller SR in the straightforward pour.

Buffalo Trace is everywhere in the UK at the moment but at 80 proof not 90 - I suspect due to UK Sprit Duty to keep it cheaper, It is very nice fruity with caramel and vanilla easy to drink and at 19 UK pounds (around 25 USD) is the cheapest brand for a Non Jim or Jack... Picked up a bottle for 16 UK£ a couple of months ago - great value

Anise is kinda a licorice flavor. Used in some baking.

My local supermarket always has several on the shelf at $26 and no limit on purchases. My local Costco has liter bottles for $28 with no limit. I’ve had it, it’s a decent bourbon, but I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Personally, I walk right past it and grab a bottle of WT101 for $19.99.

Finally found a bottle got it for $28 can't wait to try it

Just picked up a bottle down in west palm beach Florida they just restocked at the store I went to guy said allocated but I snagged one (Publix liquors)

Would love to see you do a review of Redwood Empires lost monarch , pipe dream and emerald giant

Where did you read/hear that BT is batched from 40 barrels in the center cut of the rickhouse?

The back of the bottle tells you virtually nothing about the liquid inside the bottle. Judging by your assessment of this whisky I now know why. This is why I watch review videos. Well done. 😃🥃

As a purist......shouldn't it be called Bison Trace? Just saying lol. Love ya Mr Gamble. Thank you for all you do : )

$30 I wish! last bottle I found here in NY was $48 out the door after tax.

Since they changed distributors, I have seen it more readily available in my area (N IL). I plan to retire in a few years, so I am stocking my shelves while collecting a paycheck. I have picked up 10 bottles of Buffalo Trace ($26.99), 7 bottles of Weller Special Reserve ($29.99), 2 bottles of Eagle Rare ($34.99) and 1 bottle of Weller Full Proof ($54.99) in the past 6-7 weeks. Had to visit numerous liquor stores, due to limit 1 per person.

It's allocated in TN. Recently tried some so it's on my buy list when we get it in at work. I would say it's one of the smoothness bourbons at the price point. One of my regulars drink Larceny when she or her husband can't get any Buffalo Trace. You may want to do a comparison between Buffalo Trace and Larceny to see it that holds true.

I happened to stop in a little mom’n pop liquor shop this evening on the hunt for some Early Times google said was in stock, I don’t even believe this place had a computer for inventory… their shelves were a mess, but in the middle about knee high were 2 bottles of Buffalo Trace. I gave them a new home.

Seen some in Ireland a few weeks ago

Buffalo Trace is one of my favorites and the price was right. With mark up it has become above average for me. I still buy it when they have it.

Its that Fire🔥🔥🔥That's what's the deal with Buffalo trace.

One of my favorites get it pretty regularly in Ohio

Here in Monterey,California it cost $21.99 + tax. Never have a problem finding out here...

I finally got my hands on a bottle, and I agree. The bottle reviewed here does not live up to the hype. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

Anise is very similar to Star Anise. Its essentially an Aniseed/Licorice kinda flavour.

It's everywhere here in Nevada including Costco, Walmart, Target.

I wish there were more of these vids

Isn't anise black liquorice flavor ? im probably wrong but for 28$ it's great really smooth i usually buy makers mark but my liquor store guy told me to try this and I can't complain

Just bought bottle in Serbia, Europe for 30 euros, but here is 80 proof, I don't know why. Not bad at all, but I prefer Wild Turkey for the price.

Love you Bruzill!

Buffalo trace in CT is 38$ we have crazy prices out here

Anice is the flavor in Pho that makes it taste like magic.

I got a one liter store pick for $30 in San Antonio. The 750 goes for $22 here.

Usually $25 or lower in most stores near me. $22 at Costco when they get it in.

I live in South Africa and a family member recently bought me as bottle of this. It is my first ever bourbon I usually prefer Irish whiskey and overall for the price I was fairly disappointed. Honestly hope the other bourbons out there live up the hype..

I think your rating was pretty spot on. Never been the biggest buffalo trace fan. Not sure why it's gotten so popular here lately.. very average easy drinker.

Love it, but can almost never get it, maybe can get it once every 3 months, stores near me usually only get a single case and they fly off the shelves, still a great 30$ whiskey

In all honesty if you are going to drink Bourbon with coke or any other mixer any cheap and nasty Bourbon will do.

Thankfully it's easy to find in Australia at around $55 AU and has a 40% alcohol content and is well worth the outlay. With that easy drinking mellow taste a pleasure to sip. 😎👍
