flag In April 2025, record floods from the Kentucky River severely damaged Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, submerging its 200-acre campus and halting bourbon production for about a month, causing over $30 million in damage. flag Despite flooding production areas, warehouses, and destroying inventory, the distillery resumed normal operations by late May, continuing to produce flagship brands like Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Pappy Van Winkle. flag The flood, one of the worst in the facility’s history, occurred just after a $1.2 billion expansion doubled its capacity. flag The distillery has since filled its 9 millionth barrel since Prohibition, launched new whiskeys, and begun renovations. flag While the broader U.S. whiskey industry faces declining sales and exports, larger producers like Buffalo Trace are better positioned to recover.
