Buffalo Trace Antique Collection

Few annual releases rival the prestige of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Among enthusiasts, this grouping of five whiskeys inspires a particular zeal. Since its inception in 2000, the lineup has grown from three bottles to the current lineup of George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Sazerac Rye 18-Year-Old, Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old, and Thomas H. Handy rye. 

Each bottle represents an elevated interpretation of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s different whiskey recipes, presented at either barrel proof point, a lengthy barrel maturation, or both. Every year, the Antique Collection varies slightly, similar to different vintages from a winery. The offerings are blended differently, depending on the barrels that the distillery has available every year. Thus, there are annual fluctuations in proof and age. 

These differences add to the collectability. Enthusiasts often compare each year’s releases and seek out expressions from years past that were uniquely delicious.

Hatfield & Company

Old Bourbon County – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 110 Proof

The Exceptional Barrel – Small Batch Single Barrel

Bourbon County was founded in 1785, seven years before Kentucky gained her statehood.  In the wake of the American Revolution, Bourbon County was named after the French house of Bourbon, and encompassed 1/5th of the territory.  The Scotch-Irish frontiersman that settled in Kentucky brought their love and knowledge of distilling.  Those early settlers crafted a sweet, corn whiskey from limestone filtered water aged in charred oak barrels in the mild Kentucky climate.

These pioneers floated barrels of whiskey down waterways to the Port of New Orleans where the distinctive Kentucky Spirit became known as Bourbon Whiskey, named after the county of origin.   As the region was separated into smaller counties this area of North-Eastern Kentucky became known as Old Bourbon County.

Hartfield & Co. Distillery, the only distillery in modern day Bourbon County, proudly presents Old Bourbon County - a spirit hand-crafted from corn, wheat and malted barley in the Birthplace of Bourbon Whiskey.
