Buffalo Trace is unveiling a new O.F.C. Vintage bourbon this fall. The bourbon whiskey in this release was distilled and rolled into the warehouse to rest in 1994, a year which saw box office hits like “Forrest Gump,” “The Lion King” and “Pulp Fiction,” and headlines documented Nelson Mandela’s inauguration as South African president and OJ Simpson’s infamous white Ford Bronco chase.

Dark cherry, honey and smoked oak on the nose. Notes of caramel, toasted vanilla and cocoa on the palate. Finishes with notes of coffee, maple syrup and oak.
