Buffalo Trace: 200 Years Of Excellence

The Buffalo Trace Distillery holds the prestigious title of the world's most awarded distillery, a remarkable feat indeed. Renowned for their highly sought-after bourbons and ryes, including gems from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and the legendary "The Bourbon that Billionaires can’t buy" from the Pappy Van Winkle range.

Delving into the rich history of Buffalo Trace reveals a tapestry woven with the legacies of remarkable pioneers and individuals whose names adorn some of the finest spirits crafted here. Icons like George T. Stagg, Thomas H. Handy, Elmer T. Lee, E.H. Taylor, and William Larue Weller are not only synonymous with the bourbon world but also deeply rooted in American history and the country's wars over the years.

Yet, the very name "Buffalo Trace" pays homage to a significant landmark—the historic crossing where buffalo once traversed the river, leaving an indelible mark on the distillery's legacy and the surrounding Kentucky landscape. The products emerging from this hallowed ground resonate with the rich history that envelops it, creating a profound connection to the past with every sip.
