Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned Bundle

Process & Profile

The Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned Bundle is a curated collection designed for crafting the perfect Old Fashioned cocktail, bringing together premium ingredients from trusted brands as of May 26, 2025. At its core is Buffalo Trace Bourbon, a flagship spirit from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, handcrafted using the finest Kentucky and Indiana corn, selected rye, and superior malted barley. Aged for at least 8 years in new oak barrels, each barrel is tasted by the Master Distiller to ensure exceptional quality. The bundle pairs this award-winning bourbon with Angostura Aromatic Bitters, a classic cocktail enhancer with a 44.7% ABV, featuring over 40 botanical ingredients for a spicy kick. Completing the trio is Stirrings Simple Syrup, made with pure cane sugar and triple-filtered water, offering a clean, balanced sweetness. This bundle provides everything needed to create a timeless Old Fashioned with ease and authenticity.
