Overview
Traveller Whiskey is a blended whiskey from Buffalo Trace Distillery and musician Chris Stapleton. It is part of the broader Sazerac portfolio and is positioned as an approachable modern American whiskey designed for a wide range of drinkers.
The brand is distinct from Buffalo Trace’s traditional bourbon and rye families because it is a blended whiskey rather than a straight bourbon release. Its identity centers on collaboration, approachability, and the connection between Stapleton and Buffalo Trace.
Brand History
Traveller was launched as a collaboration between Buffalo Trace Distillery and Chris Stapleton. The name connects to Stapleton’s music and the idea of a whiskey that can travel across drinking occasions, from neat pours to simple mixed drinks.
