Five whiskeys. One of American distilling history's most storied eras. The Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection 2023 — a limited commemorative set celebrating Buffalo Trace's unbroken operation through Prohibition as one of six federally licensed \"medicinal whiskey\" distilleries.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen Prohibition took effect in January 1920, it shuttered virtually every American distillery. Buffalo Trace — then operating as the George T. Stagg Distillery — was one of only six distilleries in the entire country licensed to continue production for \"medicinal purposes\" under the Volstead Act's limited exemption. The whiskey that Buffalo Trace produced during this period was sold by prescription through pharmacies — the legal fiction that allowed the distillery to survive while competitors closed permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Prohibition Collection commemorates this history with five unique whiskeys — each inspired by a different facet of the Prohibition era and Buffalo Trace's survival through it. Each 375ml bottle is a distinct expression, and the complete set documents the range of Buffalo Trace's production capabilities while paying tribute to one of American history's most consequential regulatory experiments. The packaging and presentation reference the era's aesthetic — a complete collectible artifact connecting the distillery's present to its most dramatic historical chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five 375ml bottles — five distinct era-inspired expressions\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023 Prohibition Collection\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTotal volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,875ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/buffalo-trace\"\u003eBuffalo Trace collection\u003c\/a\u003e or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow did Buffalo Trace survive Prohibition?\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace (then the George T. Stagg Distillery) was one of only six American distilleries licensed to continue production under the Volstead Act's medicinal whiskey exemption. Whiskey produced during this period was dispensed by pharmacies under physician prescription — a legal mechanism that allowed limited production to continue while the rest of the American whiskey industry was shuttered.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the five whiskeys in the collection?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each of the five 375ml bottles is a distinct expression inspired by a specific Prohibition-era theme from Buffalo Trace's history.
