Tracing its roots back to the 1790s, when the site was first established as the Old Fire Copper (O.F.C.) Distillery, Buffalo Trace has a storied history that is deeply intertwined with the very origins of Kentucky’s whiskey-making heritage. Over the course of two centuries, this hallowed distillery has weathered the ups and downs of the industry, adapting and evolving to maintain its position as a beacon of excellence and innovation.
At the heart of Buffalo Trace’s enduring success is its unwavering commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and a deep reverence for the time-honored traditions that have defined bourbon’s legacy. From the meticulously selected mash bills and the precision-controlled distillation process, to the meticulous barrel-aging regimen, every step of the production process is executed with the utmost care and attention to detail.
This relentless pursuit of perfection has resulted in a remarkable portfolio of bourbon brands that have each become icons in their own right. The flagship Buffalo Trace bourbon, with its rich, caramel-forward profile and subtle spicy notes, is a true embodiment of the distillery’s dedication to producing exceptionally well-balanced and approachable expressions.
