Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon Whiskey A truly one-of-a-kind American whiskey, this Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon was produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery — America's oldest continually-operating distillery — in partnership with the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc). Made with the same high-quality grains as Buffalo Trace Bourbon, it was aged for seven years in specially designated Kosher barrels and bottled at 94 proof following strict Kosher protocols. What Makes It Kosher? To maintain its Kosher status, these barrels were sold to a non-Jewish executive in a ceremony witnessed by a cRc representative before Passover each year — avoiding issues of Jewish ownership over the holiday. The bottling lines were thoroughly cleaned beforehand, and no contact was made with non-Kosher spirits. This expression is Kosher but not Kosher for Passover. Frequently Asked Questions What is Kosher whiskey? Kosher whiskey is produced under rabbinical supervision following Jewish dietary laws.
