Tasting Notes

Traveller Whiskey is a collaboration between Buffalo Trace Distillery and musician Chris Stapleton, crafted as a smooth and approachable whiskey blend. Bottled at 90 proof, it combines selected barrels to highlight balance and drinkability. The nose opens with inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey, lifted by toasted oak and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is mellow and rounded, offering flavors of toffee, baking spice, and roasted nuts with subtle fruit and cocoa. The texture is smooth and easygoing, designed for versatility whether neat or mixed. The finish is medium in length, leaving notes of caramel, sweet oak, and gentle spice.
