Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned Copper - OFC 1996 750 ml

Buffalo Trace O.F.C. (Old Fashioned Copper) 1996 is one of the rarest bourbons the distillery releases, part of a small annual series of vintage-dated bottlings named after Buffalo Trace's own 19th-century predecessor, the Old Fashioned Copper Distillery. Distilled in 1996 and left in the barrel for well over two decades before bottling, it's aged far beyond typical bourbon, picking up deep oak, dried fruit, and baking-spice character that only comes from that much time in wood. These releases are produced in extremely limited quantities and sell for thousands of dollars, making them a collector's bottle more than an everyday pour. This is a whiskey for serious bourbon collectors and enthusiasts, not casual sipping.

How to drink Buffalo Trace O.F.C. 1996

Pour a small measure neat in a proper glass and take your time with it — this is a whiskey to taste in ounces, not rounds. Given its rarity and price, this is one bottle where mixing anything into it would be a waste.
