Sample 1 (Buffalo Trace Glencairn) Left
These are 2 blind reviews of modern day OF and a 1990 OF exported to Japan, lets see how they stack up against each other blind!
ABV: 43%
Nose: Bananas, so much banana, bubble gum, caramel, oak.
Palate: Thin, watery mouthfeel, Caramel, oak, banana, black pepper, spice.
Finish: Short, little to none.
This has a little bit of flavor to it, that OF banana note is pretty prominent which holds it back as well as the proof. This is ok but doesn’t stand out.
Rating: 4/10
Guess: 1990 OF
Reveal: Modern Day OF
Sample 2 (Right)
ABV: 43%
Nose: Acetone, cloyingly sweet, marshmellow, candy, red fruit note,
Palate: Thin mouthfeel, Little to no flavor, ethanol, acetone.
Finish: Little to no finish
This has little to no flavor. All I can get from this is some oak and ethanol throughout besides the nose. This bottle is destined for mixing if I had to put it to a use.
Rating: 3/10
Guess: Modern Day OF
Reveal: 1990 OF
