Buffalo Trace Distillery recently announced that they have joined forces with Grammy Award-winning artist Chris Stapleton to bring you an exceptional new libation – the Traveller Whiskey.
In a harmonious collaboration that marries craftsmanship and musicality, two worlds collide to create an experience like no other. The Traveller Whiskey, named after Stapleton’s hit album Traveller, embodies the spirit of adventure, the thrill of the open road, and the soulful notes that transcend both music and whiskey.
A Symphony of Flavor: Crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery
Buffalo Trace Distillery, renowned for its rich history and commitment to producing exceptional spirits, has once again raised the bar. The Traveller Whiskey is a testament to their artistry and dedication to the craft.
Traveller Whiskey is made from a selection of whiskeys from The Sazerac Company’s distilleries. It is made to US Light Whiskey specs, which means it is distilled between 161 and 189 proof and barreled in used cooperage between 140-160 proof. Distilled with precision, this bourbon is a symphony of flavors, boasting notes of caramel, vanilla, and a subtle hint of spice. It can be enjoyed as a sipper over rocks or in a cocktail.
Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley, alongside Chris Stapleton, played a pivotal role in shaping the unique character of this whiskey. The result is a finely tuned blend that resonates with the passion and authenticity shared by both the distillery and the artist.
