Golden Wedding Rye Whiskey

Golden Wedding is a rye whiskey produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery as a part of its annual Prohibition Collection. It is a 107 proof rye whiskey, likely using Buffalo Trace’s standard rye mashbill recipe, which is also used by Sazerac Rye.

Golden Wedding traces its history back to 1869. During Prohibition, the brand’s production was split between Schenley Distilling in Pennsylvania and George T. Stagg Distillery, before being transitioned to a Canadian whiskey in the 1940s.

Announced in September 2023, the Prohibition Collection is a five-bottle set released annually by Buffalo Trace. During Prohibition, the distillery was known as the George T. Stagg Distillery, and it was one of six distilleries that was licensed by the U.S. government to produce medicinal whiskey. The expressions in the set honor some of the brands that were produced between 1920 and 1933.
