About Traveller Blended No 40
Traveller Blended No. 40 is a 45% ABV (90 proof) blended whiskey produced by Sazerac Company Inc., resulting from a unique collaboration between 8X Grammy Award-winning artist Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. After sampling over 50 blends, they selected No. 40 for its smooth, approachable profile featuring layers of vanilla, caramel, orchard fruits, baking spices, and subtle oak, bottled at an optimal strength for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. What makes it special is its handcrafted simplicity—light-bodied, creamy, and sweet without overwhelming complexity, distinguishing it from bolder bourbons while offering a premium blended experience at $30 for 750ml. Ideal for casual drinkers, music fans, and newcomers seeking an easy, versatile whiskey that echoes Stapleton's soulful style. In the blended category, it stands out for its Buffalo Trace heritage and drinkability, competing well against mainstream options like Canadian blends or lighter whiskeys, though enthusiasts may find it less intricate than single malts or high-rye pours.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose offers light, inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, dried fruit, sweet apples, and hints of orange peel or citrus. Subtle rye spices, cinnamon, cornbread, and hay emerge faintly, creating a fresh, fruity, and floral profile without dominant intensity. It's soft and approachable, sometimes understated to the point of needing focus.
👅 Palate
On the palate, expect warm honey, ripe orchard fruits like sweet apples, light caramel, and baking spices with touches of leather, oak, and butterscotch. The mouthfeel is creamy and light-bodied, delivering even, grainy corn notes, mild rye perfume, and maple sweetness without cloying heaviness. It's smooth and balanced, with minimal burn at 90 proof.
✨ Finish
The finish is short to medium, with light honey, white pepper spice, char, and dried apricot tang fading to mild dryness. Subtle spice lingers gently.
