We almost missed going here on our bourbon trail, but glad we didn't. The tours are FREE and include a tasting at the end. We had more detailed tours at Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey, but you cannot beat free! At the end of the tour you have the choice of 2 of 3 offerings, White Dog (un-aged whiskey), Buffalo Trace, and Eagle Rare. As a bonus, they offered their Bourbon Cream with root beer which is like an adult root beer float, very good! They have the hard to find Blanton's in their gift shop, but still very limited stock.

What I love about Buffalo Trace Distillery is that they have such a wide variety of whiskeys. They often experiment with different mashes and aging to produce unique whiskeys. They are well known for Buffalo Trace, Blanton's Single Barrel, and any of bourbons from the Van Winkle collection. You may have heard of Eagle Rare, Stagg Jr., Sazerac Rye, and E.H. Taylor to name a few also produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery. I have discovered more and more of their offerings since visiting and have so many questions for the next time we go back!

Definitely add Buffalo Trace to your bourbon trail, because there are not many things in life better than free bourbon!
