Buffalo Trace distillery: more than 150 years of history
Buffalo Trace is the flagship Bourbon Whiskey of Buffalo Trace Distillery, a historic distillery located in the most emblematic terroir in the American Whiskey landscape: the state of Kentucky. The distillery was built in 1858 on the bank of the Kentucky River or 85 years after the arrival of the first pioneers on the lands that would later become the state of Kentucky.
The distillery is renamed Buffalo Trace in 1999 in homage to the buffaloes who in their migrations have carved the paths that have allowed the pioneers to settle on the banks of the Kentucky River.
The natural resources present in the state of Kentucky have allowed the development of the production of American Whiskey and in particular of Bourbon. Among these natural resources, the most prevalent is the quality of the water that is filtered through the limestone, thus optimizing the fermentation process and limiting the impact of impurities such as iron in the distillation process.
Buffalo Trace is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey:
- A Whiskey in which there is a majority of Maize (corn)
- A Whiskey aged for at least two years in virgin American oak barrels
- The alcohol content of the pure distillate (called "White Dog") that enters the barrel for aging must not exceed 62.5% alc.
- A Whiskey without added flavoring or coloring (E150)
