Buffalo Trace OFC 1994 25 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Buffalo Trace OFC 1994 25 Year Old is a vintage-dated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from the O.F.C. Series — distilled in 1994, aged 25 years in new oak at Buffalo Trace Distillery (National Historic Landmark, Frankfort, Kentucky), presented in a hand-cut crystal bottle vintage-dated to the year of distillation and housed in a wooden display case.

O.F.C. stands for Old Fashioned Copper — Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr.'s original name for the distillery he christened in 1870, now Buffalo Trace Distillery. The OFC Series releases vintage-dated single-barrel bourbons at exceptionally long ages, each representing spirit that has spent 20+ years in the century-old warehouses on the distillery grounds. Twenty-five years in new American oak produces a dramatically different bourbon than the standard 8-12 year Buffalo Trace flagship — the extended tannin extraction creates deep amber color, and the balance of oak, vanilla, and fruit at this age requires extraordinary barrel selection to avoid over-oaking. The hand-cut crystal presentation reflects the rarity of these releases.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich caramel, vanilla, and oak — the deep, integrated character of 25-year maturation
• Palate: Smooth and full-bodied — dark chocolate, dried fruit, and spice from a quarter-century in new oak
• Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying — extended maturation complexity sustained through a rich close
