Is this the best bourbon in America? The American Icons of Whisky awards were recently held in Louisville, KY and the winner was Buffalo Trace. Turns out, Buffalo Trace has picked up a variety of awards from prestigious magazines and contests including earning Distillery of the Year from MaltAdvocate Magazine and Distiller of the Year from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

What makes Buffalo Trace different is that it is more complex than many whiskies. It has the traditional honey and vanilla notes that most bourbon has but with smoky and spicy notes. You can learn more about Buffalo Trace's whiskey making process at Cocktail Times. For around $25, it just may be the best thing you are not drinking.

I work in the liquor industry and had a chance to visit the Buffalo Trace distillery. The whole experience was increadible from beginning to end, this is without a doubt my favorite bourbon at the present time and for the price point its amazing what the quality is. More than any other bourbon I drink I find that this one takes on an entirely different character on the rocks as opposed to straight. My favorite thing is to keep it in the fridge and slowly sip it and notice the flavor changing as it warms up.

(This is the same distillery who makes 100% white corn Rain Vodka)
