What remains is deeply concentrated. The distillery's own notes for the 2023 bottling lead with dried orange peel, rye grain, clove and aniseed on the nose, then a bold blend of black pepper and vanilla carried on wave after wave of seasoned oak, before a finish of floral notes, honey and tobacco leaf that hangs around far longer than the proof would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt is the kind of whiskey that rewards a slow glass. The rye character is still there after eighteen years, but it has been softened and polished by the wood into something closer to an old Armagnac than a young, spicy rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ww-pd-body\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eIn the glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"ww-pd-notes\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003eDried orange peel, rye grain, clove and aniseed\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003eA bold blend of black pepper, vanilla and waves of oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003eFloral notes followed by honey and tobacco leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003eMature, restrained and quietly complex\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ww-pd-body\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eDistillery details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"ww-pd-pack-list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eDistillery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eDistilled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAutumn 2004 \u0026amp; Spring 2005\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eAge at bottling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18 years, 5 months\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eProof\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e90 proof\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eFiltration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChill filtered\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eProof off still\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e135 proof\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eBarrel entry proof\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e125 proof\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eBarrel char\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#4 char\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eWarehouses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eK, L \u0026amp; M, floors 2 and 3\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ww-pd-pack-label\"\u003eEvaporation loss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e74%\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ww-pd-note\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eAllocation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA back vintage of an allocated annual release.
