Green River Wheated is an approachable 90 proof (45% ABV) and a blend of 4- to 6-year-old barrels. The judging panel described it as "a richly textured bourbon, opening with aromas of peppery spice followed by a palate of grains, oats, and creamy butterscotch layered with hints of oak. This all leads to a smooth, long finish where grain fades into soft honey, spice, and warm barrel notes."

And you know what? I regret it, because by the end it was totally shot; its elaborate layers of spice, incense, and fruit had become as woody and lifeless as an antique wardrobe. The moral of the tale is carpe diem. Because, whatever people tell you, spirits do fade. It takes time - often years - but once they're opened oxygen always gets to them in the end.

"Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, where the bourbon pours freely all day!" Okay, those aren't the real lyrics, but when filled with booze and the splendor of nature, we wouldn't blame you for belting that out instead. Buffalo Trace's iconic brand distills the picture of rolling hills and majestic creatures into whiskey, and now the brand is giving fans a chance to take in the experience like never before.
