Traveller Full Proof Whiskey Blend No. 40 by Chris Stapleton
American Whiskey Blend | 60.5% ABV (121 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Traveller Full Proof Whiskey Blend No. 40 is the highest-proof expression in the Traveller Whiskey lineup, created in collaboration with Chris Stapleton and produced in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery. This release takes the original Traveller blend and bottles it at full proof—121 proof—without dilution, preserving the whiskey’s natural intensity, weight, and structure straight from the blend.
Blend No. 40 is composed of carefully selected straight whiskeys, combined to maintain balance even at elevated proof. Bottling at full proof amplifies oak, spice, and depth while still allowing room for sweetness and complexity to emerge as the whiskey opens in the glass or with the addition of water.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and bold baking spice
Palate: Concentrated toffee, brown sugar, charred oak, peppery spice, and deep warmth
Finish: Long, powerful, and lingering with oak tannin, spice, and residual sweetness

How to Enjoy
Traveller Full Proof Whiskey Blend No. 40 is best approached neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass, allowing time for the aromas to evolve.

This is a slow-sipping whiskey designed for contemplation rather than casual pours.
