About the Producer
Buffalo Trace · Frankfort, KY
Founded 1773 on the banks of the Kentucky River, Buffalo Trace is the longest continuously operating distillery in America — the only one to stay open through Prohibition. The same Kentucky limestone water, the same yeast strains since 1872, and the only U.S. operation that still bottles single-barrel from a stock of more than half a million casks at any given moment.

About this bottle ↓
Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Frequently asked questions
What is Buffalo Trace bourbon?
Buffalo Trace is a Kentucky straight bourbon from the historic Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort. It's one of the most celebrated everyday bourbons in America — beautifully balanced and widely recommended, which also makes it frequently allocated. Priced around $78.99 here, it sits among our most-wanted bottles in the bourbon collection.
What does Buffalo Trace taste like?
Expect a smooth, balanced profile: vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar with a hint of oak and gentle spice. It's approachable yet complex, which is exactly why it's such a beloved benchmark pour.
What proof is Buffalo Trace?
Buffalo Trace is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) — an easy-sipping strength that works neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
Why is Buffalo Trace so hard to find?
Demand has long outpaced supply, so Buffalo Trace is heavily allocated and often sells out quickly — which can push its price above the suggested retail. When you find it in stock, it's worth grabbing.
Is Buffalo Trace good in cocktails?
Yes — its balance makes a superb Old Fashioned and a clean whiskey sour, though many drinkers love it simply neat. It's also a fine introduction; see our best bourbons for beginners guide.
What's a good bourbon similar to Buffalo Trace?
If Buffalo Trace is out of stock, try Four Roses Small Batch or Woodford Reserve for similarly smooth, balanced, easy-drinking pours.
