The Buffalo Trace Distillery is hallowed ground in the whiskey world. The Frankfort, Kentucky distillery is a National Historic Landmark thanks to a distillery existing on-site since at least 1775. Over the years, that distillery was expanded, rebuilt, and rebranded many times — 249 years is a long time, folks.
Across all those eras, one constant stayed the same — the distillery on the Kentucky River has remained a great spot to make whiskey. And it’s thriving more than ever today.

At the dawn of 2024, the Buffalo Trace Distillery makes just shy of 25 distinct brands of whiskey and spirits at their Frankfort campus. And those brands are iconic. Even if you’re only passively into whiskey, you’ve likely heard of W.L. Weller, Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, Stagg … Pappy Freakin’ Van Winkle. You get the idea.
Since there’s so much product coming out of the almost two dozen brands made at Buffalo Trace Distillery, it’d be easy to get lost in the weeds. Below, I’m going to name the absolute best bottle from every brand and collection made by Buffalo Trace. The vast majority of the brands made by Buffalo Trace focus on straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys. They also make bourbon cream, vodka, and have an experimental line. So there is a fair bit of variation at play.
The function of this list is to highlight the absolute best bottle under each label/collection so that you can cut straight to the chase when reaching for a bottle at the liquor store. Just to be clear, that means that I’ll be calling out the best E.H. Taylor, Pappy, and so on as well as the best Antique Collection or Experimental Collection bottle (not all of any one line).

Lastly, you cannot talk about Buffalo Trace whiskeys without talking about price. Most Buffalo Trace brands are highly allocated products. That means that a small quantity of bottles is sent to a small list of retailers, bars, and restaurants. Then those establishments set a price based on the recommended MSRP set by Buffalo Trace, demand, and scarcity. This means that a lot of these whiskeys are extremely hard to find at MSRP. For this list, I’ve purposefully set each price link at the real-world retail price and not the MSRP.
If you want to get these bottles are MSRP, you’re simply going to have to work for it. You’ll need to do the following:
- Learn the delivery schedule of Buffalo Trace’s trucks.
- Learn which liquor stores get an allocation in your area.
- Learn which days those liquor stores stock those allocated bottles on their shelf.
- Follow brand and whiskey groups via social media on Facebook, X, Discord, and IG to accomplish all of the above.
- Become a member of a liquor store for special deals and lotteries.
- Join a whiskey group on social media or Discord and slowly become a member in good standing.
- Get lucky on delivery day.
If you can do all of that, then you 100% will be able to find Buffalo Trace whiskeys at MSRP. It’s a lot of work though. Let’s dive in!
