ABV: 45% (90 proof)

Description:
This exceptional single-barrel expression comes from a single cask hand-selected exclusively for PPLD x FLG LIQUOR, offering bourbon enthusiasts a truly unique taste of Buffalo Trace’s flagship distillate. Unlike Buffalo Trace’s standard release, which blends whiskey from many barrels to ensure consistency, this bottle showcases the individuality and character inherent in a single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon — distilled and aged in Frankfort, Kentucky, then laid down to mature slowly in charred new oak.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma opens with rich notes of baked vanilla bean and honeyed caramel, underscored by warm oak and subtle baking spice. The palate delivers deep brown sugar, toasted oak, and soft cinnamon, with undertones of orchard fruit and gentle rye spice. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering vanilla, soft oak tannins, and a whisper of spice — hallmark traits of a carefully chosen barrel.

Common Cocktail Uses:
• Neat: Best enjoyed at room temperature to appreciate the distinct barrel-derived nuances.
• Old Fashioned: Elevates the classic with deeper oak spice and caramel richness.
• Boulevardier: Adds warmth and complexity to spirit-forward mixes.

Food Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with grilled steak with charred herbs, smoked gouda, or dark chocolate desserts, where the bourbon’s sweet oak and spice amplify savory and rich flavors.
