The first official distillery at what is now Buffalo Trace was built by Harrison Blanton in 1812. This distillery was rebuilt and later expanded in the 1870s by E.H. Taylor, who named it Old Fire Copper (OFC), and then sold it to George T. Stagg, after whose death OFC was renamed George T. Stagg distillery. The distillery was shepherded through Prohibition by Alfred Blanton, after which it was purchased by Schenley International.
By the 1980s a large oversupply of aged whiskey led to a takeover by Age International and the introduction of Blanton’s Single Barrel by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee. The Sazerac company bought George T. Stagg distillery in 1992, and renamed it Buffalo Trace in 1999. Buffalo Trace distillery's main brands include Eagle Rare, Old Charter and W. L. Weller and the distillery also makes bourbon under contract for the Van Winkle range, Blanton’s and Ancient Age among many others.
