Tasting Notes:  A 95-proof single barrel from Buffalo Trace that's at least 4 years old and under $30? Yes, please! Leather whips and caramel popcorn on the nose. On the palate, the CYPB proof performs admirably. A flush of oak spice, followed by cinnamon butter, and a touch of tropical fruit due to the relatively young age. Sweet and spicy balance, young, but showing poise and depth. The epitome of a daily drinker and a perfect old-fashioned.
