Buffalo TraceAstor Select Single Barrel

Buffalo Trace Astor Select Single Barrel is a Kentucky straight bourbon selected from an individual barrel, so each release can show small differences from bottle to bottle. At 8 years old and 45.0% ABV, it sits in a range that often balances sweetness, oak, and spice without feeling overly intense.

For a novice drinker, expect a classic bourbon style built around corn-led sweetness, vanilla, caramel, and oak. The single-barrel format usually makes it a little more distinctive than a large batched bourbon, while still staying approachable and familiar.
