Buffalo Trace Whiskey Sour Bundle

Buffalo Trace Whiskey Sour Bundle

Process & Profile

The Buffalo Trace Whiskey Sour Bundle is a thoughtfully curated collection, perfect for crafting a classic Whiskey Sour. Anchoring this bundle is Buffalo Trace Bourbon, a renowned spirit from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, crafted from premium Kentucky and Indiana corn, select rye, and superior malted barley. Aged for 6 to 8 years in new oak barrels, each batch is meticulously tasted by the Master Distiller for quality. Paired with it is Stirrings Simple Syrup (355mL), made with pure cane sugar and triple-filtered water for a clean, balanced sweetness. Completing the trio are Luxardo Maraschino Cherries (400g), hand-picked from Italy’s Marasca cherries, preserved in their own juice for a rich, tart-sweet flavor. Together, these ingredients deliver a seamless Whiskey Sour experience with a touch of elegance.
