Whisky Advocate: Buffalo Trace Antique Collection Landing Soon

Later this month, Buffalo Trace’s annual release of its Antique Collection will hit shelves. The Bourbons and ryes in this limited-release collection are among the most sought-after by drinkers and collectors. These expressions generally remain the same each year, but what does vary is the age and in some cases the proof of the whiskey.

Launched in 2000, the BTAC started with just three expressions (Sazerac 18 year old, Eagle Rare 17 year old, and Weller 19 year old) and in 2005 six bottlings were released (Sazerac, Eagle Rare, W.L. Weller, and three variations of George T. Stagg). Since then, it’s been holding steady at a five-bottle collection—with the exception of 2021, when George T. Stagg was omitted because the barrels did not meet the distillery’s standards. Each of the BTAC bottlings is sold individually at a suggested retail price (SRP) of $125, up from the $100 SRP of previous years. Whisky Advocate has the full story.
