The Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection is a tribute to the Prohibition era in the United States, which spanned from 1920 to 1933. During this challenging period, the production, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages were strictly prohibited. As a result, numerous distilleries either ceased operations or pivoted to producing “medicinal whiskey,” one of the few legal avenues for alcohol production. Buffalo Trace’s Prohibition Collection aims to encapsulate the essence of this era, offering whiskies with bold and robust flavors that mirror the clandestine nature of whiskey production and consumption of that time. The packaging is a nod to the 1920s and 1930s, adorned with vintage labels and designs that transport one back to this pivotal moment in history. As with many of Buffalo Trace’s offerings, the Prohibition Collection often includes limited edition releases, making them a prized possession for collectors and whiskey aficionados. To truly savor the rich history and craftsmanship embedded in each bottle, it’s recommended to enjoy these whiskies neat or with a slight splash of water.

Brand History: The Distillery That Never Closed
The Buffalo Trace Distillery is a landmark of American history. Founded on the banks of the Kentucky River, it is the oldest continuously operating distillery in the United States. During Prohibition (1920-1933), it was one of only a handful of distilleries granted a federal permit to continue producing whiskey for “medicinal purposes.” This unique position allowed them to maintain their craft and preserve the brands of the era. The Prohibition Collection is a direct result of this unparalleled lineage, offering authentic recreations of the spirits that defined a generation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 
Q: Are these original bottles from the 1920s?
A: No, these are modern-day recreations of historic whiskey brands. The whiskey was recently distilled and aged by Buffalo Trace to match the style and character of the original products from the Prohibition era.
Q: How does the 2025 collection differ from the 2024 release?
A: The 2025 release features a completely different lineup of five historic “ghost” brands compared to the inaugural 2024 collection, making each year’s set a unique and collectible snapshot of history.
Q: Are the whiskies in the set available individually?
A: No, these brands are recreated exclusively for this highly limited collection and are not sold individually.
Q: What is the difference between a wheated bourbon and a corn whiskey?
A: A wheated bourbon uses wheat as its secondary grain after corn, resulting in a softer, creamier profile. A straight corn whiskey must be made from at least 80% corn and can be aged in used or uncharred oak barrels, often resulting in a sweeter, more rustic, and less oak-forward taste.
Q: Where can I purchase the Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection?
A: This is an extremely rare and highly allocated release. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory and availability.
