My girlfriend and I sat down with Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Makers 46, Colorado Gold, Wild Turkey 101, Judges Choice ( another local made from Olathe Sweet Corn), Breckenridge Bourbon, and Knob Creek two nights ago. Buffalo Trace seemed pretty harsh in comparison. The Wild Turkey was way up there, Breck Bourbon and Woodford too. Below that was the Colorado Gold, Makers 46, Knob Creek and Judges Choice. That bottom end was just much harsher and with little taste or depth compared to the mostly run of the mill Scotches and Irish I've been playing with.

Heard lots of good things about Buffalo Trace here and wasn't impressed at all.
