- What’s the Deal with Buffalo Trace? That’s a question I think we’ve all asked one time or another. In classic Drew P Whiskey style, in this video we break down the history, significance, and taste profile behind this hyped brand.

Buffalo Trace got its name from an ancient buffalo crossing path over the Kentucky river in Frankfort, right near the distillery. That type of path is known as a 'trace'...so 'Buffalo Trace'. The distillery is amazing though and I recommend anyone that can to tour there at least once :)
I was also thinking this when Drew was asking why they named it Buffalo Trace. It literally says why on the back of the bottle 😂. Much love though! Learned a lot in this video
Get there an hour before they open and get in line for that days limited offerings in the gift shop.
Except they're Bison

You are good at this Drew. Good info, solid delivery, and sans snobbery. Appreciate and learn everytime I tune in.
Great break down. Well said. Appreciate the info. Thanks a bunch for posting.
Love your analysis and Practicality approach; not over stated or fluffed or grandiose.. easy and relatable, thank you.
I just found your videos and love your reviews and you have great looking bar.
I've only been into Bourbon around 6 months and Buffalo trace is my favourite so far. Although there isn't a massive selection here in Northern Ireland, we get bottles like Makers Mark, Knob Creek small batch, Old Forester 86, Bulleit, Buffalo Trace etc lower end bottles price ways.. I have had a bottle of Eagle Rare also which I got online, but always reach the Buffalo Trace.
Also man, your clock is wrong 😂
Cheers 🥃
Have you tried Elijah Craig small batch yet? Its very good or the price
‘Right mucker? Ever shop at Sprucefield?
I can't find Eagle Rare for less that $100
Love both BT and ER. Had a lot of store picks of each in my area this past fall.
Drew P. I have been watching for a month now and just noticed your clock is backwards! Love the show, and your common sense approach to Whisk(e)y. Cheers

We have Buffalo Trace everywhere in Michigan. It’s on grocery store shelves. So easy to come by.
Yup just bought a bottle at Meijer 30 min ago. Only three bottles left on the shelf though and it's usually sold out
Finally found some today after looking for a while. Sells out in seconds here in Virginia. Cheers!
Southwest Virginia here. Cannot find it anywhere.
One of my favorite budget whiskies! I’m excited to pop my Eagle Rare.

I love Buffalo Trace and i love Eagle Rare. From what i understand Buffalo Trace is supposedly a six year old whiskey that at one time used to be a ten year old but it's demand has increased. Eagle Rare is extremely smooth ten year old whiskey but i have been told that supposedly a blended whiskey.
I always tell anybody that hasn’t had BT that it’s the most bourbony bourbon that has ever bourbon’d. When I think of the true essence of bourbon as a product, the taste of BT is immediately what I have in my head. It’s so pleasant and enjoyable but nothing all that special. It’s also funny hearing people say it’s hard to find. Thank goodness I live in Tennessee and can find it virtually anywhere most of the time.
Imo the fact that its like that makes it really uninteresting to me. Ive never been a very big fan of it. Theres just so many things in its price range i would buy first
@@LeatherDaddy97 I like to keep BT around for anybody that comes over and doesn’t really know whiskey, they always thinks it’s high end and tastes good. It’s the perfect shareable bottle. But I agree, there’s a number of better bottles you can find for $30.

Easy to find in my area. A decent basic Bourbon.
Good review. They have unfortunately raised the prices in my area to 40$ for BT and 60$ for eagle rare.
Not worth it
Lol $27 for BT here
I just picked up a bottle here in upstate NY and when I say picked up, I mean finally found! wish it was only $25 I paid $48
ER easily beats BT blinded for me. Big fan of both even though I have a lot of other options. Hear ya on upping ER to 101.

I like to do the same.
Looked at a few different stores in town, could only find it at one and there were 2 bottles left (one after me 😂) 1 bottle per customer limit.
I can get Buffalo Trace in CA any day for $20. Eagle Rare is pretty common at $30-35. There is a lot of stuff we can't get, but if you want those you can get them all day.
Ugh what I would give to have those prices where I live lol
@@Hammertime97 Eagle rare is now around 50 in California and more limited, and these two are basically it as far as any California advantage. Nothing else comes to mind. Can't get anything but Weller Special Reserve for anything less than 100 if you can even find the others from Weller

whats the hype? its damn good juice period. all mash bill 1 is excellent, most of mash bill 2 is great, and mash bill 3, the wheated version for weller and pappy is insanely good
Good video. Buffalo trace is a solid budget bourbon, generally it’s a blended bourbon. Yours being a store pick is a single barrel. Eagle rare to my knowledge is still a single barrel, they took the single barrel statement off the bottle because they don’t clean the lines between barrels, but in all actuality it’s still a single barrel and the bottles will fluctuate a little bit between them. While Buffalo trace is still easy to find by me, Eagle Rare has become really hard to find. And when you do it’s always $50+.
Let me try to unpack what you said. It is true that most Store Picks are single barrel, but there are instances where a large store pick (need for 300 bottles) can blend two barrels together. Eagle Rare has not been a single barrel since around 2014 or 2015 when they began batching and changed the label. Regular Buffalo Trace is not a blended bourbon (per the technical definition), but you may have been thinking it was batched (multiple barrels, up to 50). It is labeled as being a straight whisky (if aged more than two, but less than four years would need to be labeled with its age), has no added color, flavor or neutral grain spirit. A blended bourbon can contain added color, flavor, or neutral grain spirit. It is not possible to have a Blended Straight Bourbon. The only single barrel continuous production whisky Buffalo Trace has is Blanton's, and it was asked if they flush the dump tub, filters and lines between barrels during a tour in 2018, and the answer was "No", but they do use a dedicated production line only for Blanton's.
@@Xander-dx6mw Hello CJ, yes when I stated Buffalo Trace is a blended Bourbon, I meant blended with other Buffalo trace barrels and it’s not a single barrel, but you are correct as what I meant to type was it is generally a batched Bourbon. Drew’s in the video was a store pick, and more times than not a store pick is a single barrel (but not always). As far as Eagle Rare being a batched Bourbon that is news to me as I was under the impression and have heard from several people that it is still a single barrel, the difference now being they don’t flush the lines from barrel to barrel anymore and that’s the reason for removing the statement. Hmm, but who knows that may have been the case when they first removed the statement and now the may have moved on to batching it. Not sure. Thanks for the information.

Where in Milwaukee would you recommend to find good bourbon?
Eagle Rare is 35 Euro at my local supermarket. Last time I went there I had to decide between Eagle Rare and Elijah Craig Small batch. I bought the EC and so far I don't regret it at all.
EC is excellent. My every day favorite.
If you get another chance buy the ER as well.
Already had it (several bottles), it's amazing 😂
Try Stranahan cask strength from Colorado really smooth for 118 proof
Buffalo is a great piece
You got some heavy hitters back there
There is an abundance of Buffalo Trace in Cali. BT makes a great Old Fashioned. I enjoy it neat as well but it's awesome in a cocktail.

Just had some "Bird" tonight...Tasty! I read that the name "Buffalo Trace" is taken from a location on the river where bison would cross the river every year on their seasonal migration, which is where the distillery is located now.

Drew, I'm going to guess you got your hands on a Hy-vee BT store pick there. I bought a couple bottles in my area. I think it's the best bourbon you can get at 25 a bottle.
Check our page on ...facebook.com/Whiskey_shop7-106691448044263/
I too have hyvee stores , I think eagle rare is the best bourbon under 30 but that's just me
That eagle rare ABC pick is from Alabama alcohol control store line ABC spirits. It's the Alabama beverage control store pick.
Going on your reverse clock, it was a heavily edited review but I agree with you that Buffalo trace is not the best bourbon out there and the same time not the worse.
Best budget bourbon hands down. Anything out of BT line is good hopefully someone can hook me up with just a sample of PVW
Buffalo Trace is my favorite regular drinker. I find the taste better than most for my palate. I have Eagle Rare (I was disappointed given all the hype around it) and I recently tried Blanton's. I understand how much more flavor Blanton's pulls out and it is good... but in the price range (and I'm talking MSRP), there are much better bourbons. In the Buffalo Trace family, I still think Buffalo Trace is their best offering (especially as it costs $26 in my neighborhood). My caveat here is that I have not yet had the Stagg or EH Taylor.
You try Taylor yet? I tried some for a bargain. 48$ quite giod
@Mark Din Not yet. Allocated where I am, and I always seem to miss those 6 bottles when they drop.
EH Taylor for $48, I wouldn’t buy anything else. Lol
Cheapest I’ve seen it is $129
I would really like an intelligent explanation as to why some bourbons are plentiful in some parts of the country but hard to find in others. These are major distilleries so you would think things would be evenly distributed throughout the country. Is it supply and demand, exclusive dealer contracts, or something else?
This might not be 100% accurate. This is just how I understand it as it was explained to me numerous times from my sales reps. when I bring up Buffalo Trace.
As far as individual liquor stores goes: BT and all of their products are currently "Allocated" Sazerac being the parent company decides how the allocations work out. In the liquor store I manage, we do not sell allot of Sazerac products so I am allocated ZERO BT products. I am not allowed to order them and if my sales rep does try to order them, they do not arrive. If I worked in a market where some of the other Sazerac products sold better I would be able to order it.
Also, there are the big box liquor stores. They are able to get the products in because they can order in CASES of stuff that will be dust collecting bottles in order to get the fast moving, more requested items. Whereas the small liquor stores cannot afford to tie up their money in back stock inventory that does not produce revenue. Get to know those managers at the Big Box store though or you will never see the allocated items like Eagle Rare, Weller, or Stagg when they come in. Those do not go on shelves in bigger stores, if the team does not buy them up, they go to special customers.
If you scale that up to the Distribution level, the same thing applies. The company I would buy BT from orders 700 cases of it to come in. They may only get 75 based on their Sazerac purchases. So now the entire market they service is shorted product.
In my market, Blanton's is heavily allocated to bars and restaurants making it almost impossible to find on a store shelf. I have never seen one personally.

Buffalo Trace is okay. I think Wild Turkey 101, Old Forester 100, Knob Creek Small batch, and Russell’s 10 is better.
Sir, respectfully completely disagree. Glad you found things you enjoy, whatever they may be
Turkey 101 is great! I actually like Early Times BiB over Buff Trace and Turkey 101. That’s if I’m buying a sub $30 bottle.

your history is a bit convoluted. Buffalo Trace was named as the distillery, people started to ask why there was no bourbon named buffalo trace and after many years of complaints they finally made a 'buffalo trace' named bourbon.

So overrated!
Drew, I want to buy a bottle of Eagle Rare mainly and perhaps Buffalo Trace in the near future. I'm in Cleveland and there is non to be found of either one in any store I call nor does anyone know if or when they're getting any shipped. So I've spent a consider amount of time researching for online retailers and found Liquorama.net to be the cheapest. They are selling a bottle of Eagle Rare for $59 plus $5 tax and free shipping which totals $64. Probably double of retail. I've even seen web sites asking over $100 for Eagle Rare. Is this acceptable or is there another option out there to get this whiskey?
Thanks
