Experience a true museum-grade acquisition with the Buffalo Trace O.F.C. (Old Fashioned Copper) 2004 Vintage Bourbon. Named in honor of the original 1870 designation of the Buffalo Trace Distillery by Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr., this expression represents a single, unrepeatable moment in American distilling history. Laid down in 2004, this ultra-rare straight bourbon whiskey was aged across two decades within the distillery's hallowed rickhouses.
To match the prestige of the liquid inside, each release is presented in an exquisite hand-cut crystal decanter adorned with real copper lettering. The decanter is housed in a handcrafted wooden display box that opens to reveal a provenance card listing notable events from the year 2004, making it a visually striking centerpiece for any serious spirit investor or collector. It is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich aromas of dark cherry, aged oak, and vanilla bean, layered with dark caramel, dried fruit, and pipe tobacco.
Palate: Exceptionally silky and refined. It delivers deep notes of toffee, butterscotch, and dark chocolate, beautifully balanced by baking spice, roasted pecans, and a firm antique-oak backbone.
Finish: Long, elegant, and gently drying. The finish leaves lingering notes of leather, molasses, cocoa, and mature barrel char.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does O.F.C. stand for? O.F.C. stands for Old Fashioned Copper. This was the historic, original name of the site that is now known as the Buffalo Trace Distillery, founded by Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. in 1870.
Why is this bottle called a "Vintage"? Unlike bourbons that are blended from various years to achieve a consistent profile, each O.F.C. release is tied to the specific year the bourbon was distilled. This means the 2004 Vintage was laid down in exactly 2004 and acts as a fixed moment in the distillery's history.
What is the proof of the O.F.C. 2004 Vintage? This ultra-rare expression is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), offering a perfectly balanced and incredibly complex tasting experience.
