About Buffalo TraceUnited States
Buffalo Trace Distillery stands on the Kentucky River in Frankfort, Kentucky, at the site of Leestown, established in 1775, with a distillery first developed there by Daniel Swigert in 1858. Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. bought it in 1870 and named it O.F.C.; George T. Stagg bought it in 1878, it was rebuilt after a lightning fire in 1882, and it was renamed the George T. Stagg distillery in 1904. It was one of very few distilleries allowed to bottle medicinal whiskey during Prohibition, was bought by the family-owned Sazerac Company in 1992, and was renamed Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1999. It is known for bourbon: it introduced Blanton's, which it calls the world's first single-barrel bourbon, in 1984, released its first Experimental Collection bourbons in 2006, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2013.
