Producer Information: Buffalo Trace Distillery

Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Frankfort, Kentucky, traces its roots to 1775 when early American pioneers first began distilling whiskey on the banks of the Kentucky River. Officially established in 1858 as the O.F.C. Distillery by Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., it has continuously operated through Prohibition and multiple ownership changes, making it one of America’s oldest distilleries. Buffalo Trace is distinguished by its commitment to traditional methods such as using century-old fermenters and a unique climate-controlled aging process that leverages Kentucky’s seasonal temperature swings for optimal barrel maturation. Beyond its flagship bourbon, Buffalo Trace crafts a diverse portfolio including Eagle Rare Bourbon, W.L. Weller wheated bourbons, Sazerac Rye whiskey, and the highly sought-after Pappy Van Winkle line, each reflecting a deep respect for regional heritage and category-specific craftsmanship rooted in central Kentucky’s limestone-rich water and storied bourbon legacy.
