Traveller Full Proof Blend No. 40 is the bold, full-proof edition of the whiskey created by Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace master distiller Harlen Wheatley, bottled at 121 proof (60.5% ABV).
Traveller brings together the artistry of Grammy-winning musician Chris Stapleton, from Lexington, Kentucky, and Harlen Wheatley in a first-of-its-kind collaboration from Buffalo Trace Distillery. Blend No. 40 was the pick from some 50 blends the two sampled. The original launched in 2024 at 45% ABV to be approachable; Full Proof takes the same blend of bourbon and rye stocks from Buffalo Trace's aged inventory and bottles it at full proof, designed to awaken palates.
Bold and full bodied, it amplifies the core Traveller flavors with rich caramel, toasted oak, vanilla bean and toasted nut.
The map label makes it a collectible gift for Chris Stapleton fans.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
