How to Enjoy

Serve each whiskey neat in a Glencairn to appreciate its individual character, then experiment with a few drops of water to open up deeper layers of sweetness, spice, and oak. For the highest-proof bottlings, a large ice sphere can create a slower-evolving, dessert-like profile without stripping away complexity. This Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2025 Release Bundle is perfect for side-by-side flights, vertical tastings, and special occasion pours, paired with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, pecan pie, charcuterie, and premium cigars.
