Bourgon/Rye Review #15: Blantons Store Pick

Buffalo Trace - 6 - Bourbon - BT Mashbill #2 - Sample ($60)  - 46.5%

Color - caramel 

Nose - Corn, vanilla, dill, spice, toffee 

Taste - Spicy, toffee, coffee, chocolate

Mouthfeel - Medium

Finish - Spice, toffee

Finish Length - Medium

Overall - 3/7 - This just seemed boring, I really didn't get much of anything.  It is for sure spicy, but that just covers up everything.  I would pass, especially at the price point. 

Rating system is price influenced as it is based on my shopping decisions when buying a bottle.
