Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection Tasting Experience
On January 17, 1920, the United States officially entered Prohibition. For most distilleries, it marked the end. For Buffalo Trace, it became a test of survival.
This limited-time Prohibition Collection Tasting Experience invites guests to revisit the era when bourbon lived on as medicine—prescribed by doctors and dispensed by pharmacists under rare federal licenses. In just 30 minutes, you’ll taste the bold, high-proof whiskeys inspired by the expressions that quietly kept the distillery alive during America’s Dry Era.
These whiskeys weren’t designed for comfort or trendiness. They were built with purpose, intensity, and resilience—qualities that still define Buffalo Trace today.
