Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Hancock’s President’s Reserve Single Barrel is a sought-after Kentucky straight bourbon crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery and known for its refined, elegant profile. Bottled at 88.9 proof, it delivers a rounded, approachable character while still offering the depth expected from a single-barrel release.

Nose: Sweet corn, warm vanilla, honeycomb, and soft oak, touched with light citrus and baking spice.

Palate: Silky and balanced with caramel, toffee, subtle fruit notes, and gentle rye spice. The mouthfeel is smooth yet expressive, showcasing classic Buffalo Trace sweetness.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering vanilla, toasted oak, and a mellow spice fade.

Why It’s Special
Each barrel is individually selected, giving every bottle a unique nuance while maintaining a consistent signature style, smooth, rich, and easy to enjoy neat or with a splash of water. Its limited availability and connection to Buffalo Trace’s single-barrel lineage make it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts.
