Insider Monkey Score: 10

Price: $24.99

Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making Bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. Made from the finest corn, rye, and barley malt, this whiskey ages in new oak barrels for years in century old warehouses until the peak of maturity. The Buffalo Trace Distillery was acquired by the Sazerac Company in 1992.
