Buffalo Trace Bourbon www.buffalotrace.com As the mighty buffalo thundered across the land, they carved paths in the wilderness and a destiny for our ancestors. These paths, known as traces, were soon marked with the footprints of adventurers, explorers and pioneers as they made their journey to the west. One such trace, called the Great Buffalo Trace, led to the rugged banks of the Kentucky River. It was here in Franklin County, millions of buffalo found passage across the river in their move toward the Great Plains. The migration of these herds left a rough wide clearing that would become a gateway to a new frontier that invited renowned explorers and pioneers, such as George Rogers Clark, Daniel Boone, and countless settlers who pushed America westward more than 220 years ago. Those who settled here were quick to take advantage of the abundant limestone spring water and fertile soil perfect for growing exceptional grain. Distillation soon followed and what would become the area's distinguished bourbon heritage took root. Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is not a pretentious brand. It's limited, a little hard to find, premium, but not pompous. Guys like it because of the quality, the taste, and because it's not for sissies. Men 21-30 have fallen in love with Buffalo Trace because it's not mainstream and boring like other brands. It's well made and smooth, but hard to find.
