This is it! The end! The last 12 bottles in the unfathomably ambitious Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project have arrived.

Well-rounded, with touches of cinnamon atop some

traditional, lumber-heavy notes

Peppery notes and some cereal character behind that, but it

settles into a creamy caramel character as the body takes hold.

There’s some cola amidst the vanilla caramel notes and a touch of citrus oil on the very back end.

Caramel, cinnamon, and red hots candies are all in the mix,

and working well together.

A melange of aromas here, but heavy on the mint. The body has more of a chocolate mint character to it.

Engaging from the start, a little minty, with a little butterscotch

character to it. Lovely and dessert-like on the palate.

Some red fruit and curious berry notes to spice up

the vanilla and lumberyard notes on the body.

Rounded on the palate, it’s got fruitcake and nutty elements

that fade with the arrival of a more grain alcohol character

More citrus here than most of the other expressions in

this round, with a bit of butterscotch to back it up.
