SNEAK PEEK: Buffalo Trace Distillery has Teamed up with Chris Stapleton to Create “TRAVELLER WHISKEY”

PRESS RELEASE From Buffalo Trace Distillery

Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley and 11x American Country Music Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Chris Stapleton (who was born just down the road from the Distillery in Lexington, KY) are partnering to create a new-to-world whiskey brand: Traveller Whiskey. 

A first-of-its-kind collaboration from Buffalo Trace Distillery, Traveller was inspired by the belief that good whiskey is a lot like a good song… it requires no explanation, and you can simply settle in and enjoy without pressure or pretense.   

Traveller will be proudly blended under Harlen Wheatley’s expert supervision and bottled at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Bringing together the collective artistry of Stapleton and Wheatley, dozens of blends were considered on the journey to find the chosen recipe for Traveller. 

“In creating Traveller, we tried over 50 different recipes, experimenting, testing, and adjusting until we found a complex and approachable flavor profile worthy of the whiskey drinker who will enjoy it. In the end, there was one clear winner – Blend No. 40 – that everyone agreed was worthy to be Traveller Whiskey,” said Wheatley. 

Tasting details and product information will be available later in the year, with the whiskey slated to be widely released beginning in early 2024.
