Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon is distilled, aged, and bottled at one of the most awarded distilleries in the world — a rich, complex bourbon of vanilla, toffee, and candied fruit from the oldest continuously operating distillery in America.

Made from corn, rye, and barley malt, Buffalo Trace ages in new oak barrels for years in century-old warehouses until it reaches the peak of maturity. The result is rich and complex, with hints of vanilla, toffee, and candied fruit, and a smooth finish that lingers on the palate. The distillery’s commitment to that profile is deliberate and consistent — it is regularly rated among the best bourbons in the world by the industry’s most knowledgeable critics.

Located in Franklin County, Kentucky, the distillery operated even through Prohibition under a permit to make whiskey for “medicinal purposes.” Within the past decade it has won more awards than any other distillery in the world, including an unmatched seven “Distillery of the Year” titles, and its history runs through legendary distillers including E.H. Taylor Jr., George T. Stagg, Albert B. Blanton, and Elmer T. Lee.
