Buffalo Trace O.F.C. Vintage 1996 is an ultra-rare, vintage-dated bourbon that pays tribute to the legacy of the Old Fashioned Copper (O.F.C.) Distillery, founded by Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. in 1870. Distilled in 1996 and aged for over two decades in the historic warehouses of Buffalo Trace, this expression embodies the pinnacle of American whiskey craftsmanship. Every detail—from its extended aging to its elegant presentation—reflects a commitment to preserving tradition while achieving excellence.

Encased in a hand-cut lead crystal decanter and housed in a luxury display box, each individually numbered bottle is a testament to heritage and time-honored technique. The O.F.C. series celebrates innovations like copper fermentation tanks and steam-heated warehouses that transformed bourbon making, and this 1996 vintage offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experience that legacy firsthand.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Deep and elegant, with aromas of rich caramel, vanilla bean, aged oak, and baking spices, complemented by hints of dark cherry, dried fruit, and leather.

  • Palate: Luxuriously smooth and full-bodied, delivering layers of toffee, molasses, cinnamon, and roasted nuts, balanced by warm oak spice and a touch of honeyed sweetness.

  • Finish: Exceptionally long and velvety, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, toasted oak, and a gentle spice warmth.
