Buffalo Trace Distillery is a distillery located in Frankfort, Kentucky.
It has historically been known by several names, including the George T. Stagg Distillery and the O.F.C. Distillery.
Its namesake bourbon brand, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey, was introduced in August 1999. The company claims the distillery is the oldest continuously-operating distillery in the United States.
Located on what the company claims was once an ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Franklin County, the distillery is named after the American bison.
The Sazerac Company, an American family-owned producer and importer based in New Orleans, Louisiana, purchased the distillery in 1992 and is now the parent company of Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged 17 years and bottled in Spring 2016 at 90 proof.
Nose: Aromas of leather, candied fruit, oak and vanilla.
Palate: The taste profile is a little more aggressive than the nose and more aggressive than previous years. Flavors of leather, oak, vanilla with just a hint of tobacco and toffee are easily detected early on.
Finish: The finish is long in repeated multiple waves of activity from front to back until it settles in mid-mouth for a prolonged experience.
