The high proof can be seen in the long legs which linger on the glass.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNOSE: This reminds me of walking into one of Buffalo Trace’s most famous warehouses, built all those years ago: the atmosphere, the history and the provenance – it packs an evocative punch. Deep, dark fruit, figs, and dates on the nose, some raisins, and an aromatic spiciness, with citrus zest. There is some spiciness from the straight rye, and a creamy, vanilla from the bourbons, yielding a complex and layered flavor.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePALATE: To begin with, there are dark fruits, candy and orange peel upfront. From there, we begin a journey through a veritable spice merchant’s storeroom, and into a saddle room full of worn leather and wax. The ages of the whiskeys in this blend, and the magnificent impact of the American oak are here in perfect balance with the individual elements of the blend. A crescendo of rich and raw spiciness transitions across your palate: that balance is pure magic.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCONCLUSIONS: The spiciness is challenging the dark fruit, the chocolate notes, and the sweet vanilla. This is the balance and sophistication that arises only rarely when the tangy spice of the rye and the creamy chocolate of the bourbon whiskeys – combined with the sublime influence of the oak – all collide in perfect harmony.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Last Drop","offers":[{"title":"1 x The Last Drop Buffalo No28 | 60.7% Abv | 700ml","offer_id":53104148676875,"sku":"WSK-LASTDROP-DREW-BUFFALOTRACE-700ML-1","price":2195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x The Last Drop Buffalo  No28 | 60.7% Abv | 30ml Sample","offer_id":53104148709643,"sku":"WSK-LASTDROP-DREW-BUFFALOTRACE-700ML-2","price":229.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/3812\/0203\/files\/Drew-Mayville_2_1.jpg?v=1778361128","url":"https:\/\/blackpoolbourbon.com\/it\/products\/the-last-drop-buffalo-trace-blend-kentucky-straight-whiskeys-no-28-60-7-abv-700ml","provider":"Bourbon Blackpool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
