Buffalo Trace is excellent and reasonably priced when you can find it.
Agree on Buffalo Trace. That distiller’s Eagle Rare brand is really good at a decent price. Also like Basil Hayden.
This, at a time when even the big liquor stores couldn't get more than two or three bottles per store per month.
I found out about BT watching Justified. A guy went into the bar owned by Boyd and asked for Buffalo Trace. I had to look it up!
Bingo !
Buffalo Trace, Blantons and Pappy Van Winkle , always on the shelf ..... no water or even ice ..... I’m a bourbon snob. Invest more than ingest.
