Buffalo Trace O.F.C. Vintage Collection Bourbon
Step into the apex of American whiskey history with the ultra-rare Buffalo Trace O.F.C. Vintage Collection Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Released by the world-renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, this monumental series pays tribute to the historic O.F.C. (Old Fashioned Copper) Distillery—originally founded in 1870 by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr.—which stands today as a National Historic Landmark in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, the O.F.C. Vintage Collection showcases individual, vintage-dated releases laid to rest decades ago. Aged for a quarter of a century or more deep within Buffalo Trace’s historic brick rickhouses, each single-vintage release captures a unique moment in time. Bottled at 90 Proof (45% ABV), this liquid time capsule balances ultra-aged barrel character, deep wood sugars, and refined elegance without overwhelming the palate. Every bottle arrives housed in a heavy, hand-cut lead-free crystal decanter with inlaid copper lettering, accompanied by a custom wooden display case complete with provenance paperwork.
In the glass, it presents a deep, glowing antique copper-brown hue with long, slow-falling legs. The nose opens with an exquisite, highly complex bouquet of dark cherry compote, rich caramel glaze, and smoked oak, layered over dried dates, tobacco leaf, and toasted vanilla bean. On the palate, a lush, velvety, and mouth-coating texture unleashes decadent flavors of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and espresso bean, perfectly balanced by aged leather, cracked black pepper, and cinnamon wood spice. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and sophisticated, fading slowly with lingering echoes of polished oak, maple syrup, and sweet baking spices.
