About this listBuffalo Trace Antique Collection
The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection is a set of aged, limited American whiskeys released by Buffalo Trace Distillery each autumn. It began in 2000 and for years had five whiskeys: George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Eagle Rare 17 Year Old, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye and Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye. In 2025 it added a sixth, a 15 year old Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond, the first new whiskey since 2006; under US law bottled in bond means one distiller, one distillery, one distilling season, at least four years in wood and bottling at 100 proof. Suggested retail in 2025 was $150 a bottle, though resale prices run much higher, and a whiskey can be held back in a weak year, as George T. Stagg was in 2021.
