Buffalo Trace

Buffalo Trace Distillery is a distillery located in Frankfort Kentucky. It has historically been known by several names including most notably 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.

This deep amber whiskey has a complex aroma of vanilla, mint and molasses. Pleasantly sweet to the taste with notes of brown sugar and spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit and anise. This whiskey finishes long and smooth with serious depth.

Keep it American and try with sticky ribs with a sweet molasses glaze. Yummy!
