Blend No. 40 With Nothing Held Back. The Full-Proof Cut for Serious Whiskey Drinkers.
Traveller Full Proof takes the celebrated Blend No. 40, created by 8X Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley, and bottles it exactly as it comes from the blend, without dilution. Where the original Traveller won people over with its smoothness at 90 proof, this expression is built for the enthusiast who wants every note turned all the way up. At 121 proof, the oak runs deeper, the spice hits harder, and the sweetness that balances it all feels richer and more concentrated.
This is not a different whiskey. It is the same award-winning recipe with the volume raised. Pour it neat and add a few drops of water to watch it open into layer after layer of caramel, spice, and toasted oak. Bold, viscous, and unmistakably Traveller, it rewards the drinker who takes their time.
🥃 Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intense and aromatic. Deep vanilla bean, aged stone fruit, buttery shortbread, and toasted oak
- Palate: Bold and viscous. Concentrated toffee, brown sugar, and charred oak, balanced by peppery spice and a surprising sweetness
- Finish: Long, warming, and robust, with lingering leather, spice, and toasted marshmallow
🍸 How to Enjoy
- Neat, with a few drops of water: The best way to tame the proof and unlock the full range of flavor. Pour 2 oz, add water a few drops at a time, and let it open.
- Over a large ice cube: Slow dilution keeps the intensity in check while the caramel and oak stay front and center.
- A serious Old Fashioned: The high proof cuts beautifully through sugar and bitters. One sugar cube, 2 dashes Angostura, orange peel, stirred over a large cube.
- Gift it: For the collector or the whiskey fan who already loves the original Traveller, the full-proof cut is the bottle that impresses. A recognizable name, a great story, and serious strength in the glass.
📖 The Story Behind the Bottle
Traveller is the first-of-its-kind collaboration between Buffalo Trace Distillery and 8X Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton. In pursuit of the finest possible whiskey, Stapleton and Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley sampled more than 50 experimental blends before choosing the one that felt exactly right. That winning recipe became Blend No. 40, released to wide acclaim for its smoothness and character.
Traveller Full Proof is the natural next chapter. By bottling Blend No. 40 at its full 121 proof, without cutting it down, the release preserves the whiskey's natural weight, structure, and intensity straight from the blend. It is a showcase of what the original recipe can do when nothing is held back, made for drinkers who want the fullest possible expression of the collaboration.
