Buffalo Trace Distillery is a distillery located in Frankfort, Kentucky.

It has historically been known by several names, including most notably, the George T.

Stagg Distillery and the O.F.C.

Distillery.

Its namesake bourbon brand, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey, was introduced in August 1999.

The company claims the distillery is the oldest continuously-operating distillery in the United States.

Located on what the company claims was once an ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Franklin County, the distillery is named after the American bison.

The Sazerac Company, an American family-owned producer and importer based in New Orleans, Louisiana, purchased the distillery in 1992 and is now the parent company of Buffalo Trace Distillery.

Bourbon whiskey is a type of American whiskey: a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn.

The name is ultimately derived from the French Bourbon dynasty, although it is disputed whether Bourbon County in Kentucky or Bourbon Street in New Orleans inspired the whiskey's name.

Bourbon has been distilled since the 18th century.

The use of the term "bourbon" for the whiskey has been traced to the 1820s, and the term began to be used consistently in Kentucky in the 1870s.

While bourbon may be made anywhere in the United States, it is strongly associated with the American South, and with Kentucky in particular.

As of 2014, the distillers' wholesale market revenue for bourbon sold within the U.S. is about $2.7 billion, and bourbon makes up about two-thirds of the $1.6 billion of U.S. exports of distilled spirits.

A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past.

Common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings.

There are about 150 new traditions made each year.

Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years—the word "tradition" itself derives from the Latin tradere or traderer literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping.

While it is commonly assumed that traditions have ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time.

Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways.
