Produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky and owned by the Sazerac Company this distillery is very well known around the world. It is however known by many different names, George T. Stagg Distillery and Old Fire Copper Distillery to name a couple.

It is known that this distillery was producing spirit back in 1805 and a distillery called Burks Distillery is in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest operating bourbon distillery. During prohibition the distillery was allowed to stay open to produce products for ‘medical purposes’.

The distillery produces around 10,000,000 litres of spirit each year which is used mainly to create its signature spirit Buffalo Trace Kentucky Bourbon.

This Bourbon is a wheated Bourbon which allows for the distiller to take away the rye component and replace it with wheat given the product an added smoothness. Rarely seen in Australia and an exceptional bourbon with a high-wheat mash bill. Bottled at 90 proof and excellent for making cocktails or sipping straight.
