Buffalo Trace Distillery – A Legacy of Survival

The Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Frankfort, Kentucky, is America’s oldest continuously operating distillery. Its roots trace back to the late 1700s, and it has endured fires, floods, wars, and even Prohibition (1920–1933). During that era, while most distilleries shuttered, Buffalo Trace was one of only a handful granted a federal license to continue producing bourbon — legally — for medicinal purposes. This survival cemented its place as a cornerstone of American whiskey history.
