We’re exploring daily, but the path to bourbon is still sort of unknown to us.

Of course we began drinking whisk(e)y with the good old Jack Daniels. But we’ve learned that this is not a real bourbon, because of the filtration though charcoal. The more you know…

Just like with exploring scotch, we’re doing it from the bottom up. So we bought an Elijah Graig Small Batch and this Buffalo Trace, we heard great stories about both. During our Islay-trip, we saw Buffalo Trace casks lying around at Kilchoman, so I was very curious about this one.

Not bad! It tastes like I need to explore bourbon even further, because in all honesty: I’m of course keeping in mind that there are many better options than this.

But it certainly is something I would recommend for an introductory tasting session.
