Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the return of its traveling tasting experience, Buffalo Trace Distillery On Tour, this fall. The complimentary experience will visit four US cities across Missouri, Texas, and Colorado, beginning in Branson, Missouri, on October 1.
Now in its second year, the tasting and retail experience will travel to Branson and Kansas City in Missouri, Dallas/Ft. Worth in Texas, and Denver, Colorado.
The tour takes the Frankfort, Kentucky-based distillery on the road, offering bourbon fans the chance to taste its whiskeys closer to home.

Expert hosts will guide guests through four distinctive pours across a session lasting approximately 75 minutes. Each tasting explores the details that shape the whiskeys, including mashbills, tasting notes, and maturation techniques.
The lineup features Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Eagle Rare 10 Year Old, Weller Antique 107, and the new Sazerac Rye 100 Proof.
Each stop will offer 14 complimentary tasting experiences spread over four days, with staggered afternoon and evening time slots.
