Buffalo Trace, Frankfort

This distillery is the oldest continuously operating one in the state, and most whiskey aficionados are extremely familiar with the label.

Fun Fact: During the Prohibition period, this distillery stayed open and brewed medicinal whiskey, which was legal in most places if it was prescribed. The sprawling property at Buffalo Trace looks like it was taken right out of rural Ireland.

While visiting, you’ll find old brick buildings that are set against rolling hills and steam pouring from chimneys. We recommend you take the Landmarks Tour.
