The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC) is an annual limited-edition release of highly sought-after and collectible bourbons produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery.
The Buffalo Trace Antique Collection is comprised of five different expressions: George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye, Eagle Rare 17 Year Old, and Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old. Each expression is highly anticipated by whiskey enthusiasts and collectors due to their exceptional quality, limited availability, and unique characteristics.
The BTAC releases are known for their high proof and extended aging. Some are bottled at barrel proof, which means the whiskey is not diluted before bottling, resulting in higher alcohol content and intense flavors. The age statements vary between the expressions, with some reaching well into their teens or beyond.
