Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 90 Proof (45% ABV)
Process & Profile
Buffalo Trace Bourbon is crafted at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Made from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley (using the distillery’s proprietary “Mash Bill #1” with 10% or less rye), it’s distilled, blended, and aged in century-old warehouses. The bourbon matures in new, charred American oak barrels until it reaches optimal flavor before bottling at 90 proof, showcasing deep amber color and a consistent quality that defines the distillery’s flagship spirit.

Finish: Long, lush, and balanced—oak-driven but rounded by sweetness and light anise
