Ancient Age

Ancient Age

Ancient Age is a brand of bourbon whiskey distilled in Frankfort, Kentucky at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, and aged there in large warehouses which literally seem to overhang the Kentucky River, which flows through the city in a deep gorge.

The name Ancient Age refers to the time spent aging in charred oak barrels. By law, Bourbon must be distilled at no higher than 160 proof (vodka and neutral spirits are distilled at 190 proof) and aged in new, charred oak barrels at not more than 125 proof.

As a "Kentucky" Bourbon, Ancient Age must be aged for a minimum of two years, the first of which must be in Kentucky. Bourbons aged for less than 4 years must state the age on the label. Ancient Age is aged in Kentucky for 36 months as is stated on the neck label. Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star is aged 6 years and bottled at a higher proof. There is also Ancient Ancient Age, a 10-year-old whiskey.
