Records & Assurance

Production Methodology

Buffalo Trace builds the William Larue Weller mash with wheat in place of rye as the secondary grain, and bottles the Antique Collection release uncut and unfiltered — no water at bottling, no chill filtration, so the figure on the label is the figure the barrels reached.
