The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was distinguished as “Best Straight Bourbon” at the 16th annual San Francisco World Spirits Competition where a record-breaking 1,899 entries were submitted for a blind tasting.
Thirty-nine of the industry’s finest spirits experts reviewed each entry before ultimately awarding Buffalo Trace with its celebrated Double Gold Medal. Seven additional medals were awarded to other Buffalo Trace Distillery brands. In a peculiar twist, Buffalo Trace outperformed several bourbons and ryes that are often considered superior whiskeys.
