Buffalo Trace Distillery Flood: Impact and Recovery

Buffalo Trace Distillery Flood: Impact and Recovery

In early April 2025, the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, experienced severe flooding due to unprecedented rainfall, with some areas receiving over 15 inches. The Kentucky River crested at 48.24 feet, marking the second-highest level in the city's history. This resulted in significant portions of the distillery campus being submerged, leading to a temporary shutdown of operations.
