Bottled uncut and unfiltered at an unapologetic 127.8 proof, this exclusive Sazerac Barrel Select single barrel represents Buffalo Trace's celebrated Mashbill #1 in its most concentrated, expressive form.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich aromas of stewed dark cherries, molasses, and warm toasted oak mingle with notes of dark baker's chocolate, pipe tobacco, and caramelized orange peel.

Palate: Viscous, full-bodied, and intensely flavored, bursting with bold black cherry syrup, cinnamon stick, clove, rich toffee, and roasted espresso beans wrapped in warming barrel char.

Finish: Exceptionally long and resonant, coating the palate with lingering impressions of cracked black pepper, leather, dark cocoa nibs, and sweet vanilla spice.
