Description

America's first single barrel bourbon brand, produced by Buffalo Trace distillery on behalf of Japanese multinational, Takara Shuzo. It was first introduced in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee and is instantly recognisable for its rounded bottles and famous collectable horse-and-rider stoppers. A historic Kentucky distillery and the oldest still operating in the state. It is the flagship production facility of Buffalo Trace. This 'Straight from the Barrel' expression is uncut, unfiltered, and bottled directly from the barrel at cask strength, offering an intense and complex flavor profile.
