Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a 12-year-old wheated Kentucky straight bourbon, made at Buffalo Trace Distillery from a mash bill of corn, wheat and malted barley, and bottled at 90.4 proof. Wheat in place of rye tends to give bourbon a softer, rounder frame, and that shows here. The nose opens on dried fruit and caramel with a gentle lift of cinnamon and clove. The palate turns to dark chocolate, toasted oak and sweet vanilla over a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. The finish is warm and lingering, with a satisfying sweetness and a subtle hint of smoke. It is a medium-bodied pour rather than a heavy one, so it is approachable for someone exploring well-aged wheated bourbon, yet layered enough to reward a collector who sits with it neat. We carry Lot "B" because it shows what patient aging does to a wheated recipe: maturity and depth without losing smoothness. Open it for a celebration, share it at an intimate gathering, or give it to the bourbon devotee who appreciates nuance.
