Wyoming Whiskey has just dropped a new limited-edition bourbon that’s got the spirit of the Wild West in every sip. Named after the legendary showman William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, this bourbon, now available in select markets nationwide, was originally a Wyoming-exclusive release. It’s a tribute to a man who shaped the state’s rugged history and left a mark on American culture. Crafted with care, this bourbon isn’t just a drink - it’s a piece of Wyoming’s soul, bottled for those who appreciate a good story and a great whiskey.

The Buffalo Bill Cody bourbon is as local as it gets. Every grain used to make it was grown in Wyoming’s tough, high-plains soil. The whiskey was distilled in Kirby, a small town that’s home to Wyoming Whiskey’s operation, and then aged for at least 5 summers. Their rickhouses which sit under Wyoming’s wide-open skies, let the bourbon soak up the character of the land - harsh winters, hot summers, and all. The result is a 26-barrel blend, with the Wyoming-exclusive edition bottled at a sturdy 48.5% ABV (97 proof) and the national release at 48% ABV (96 proof), both packing enough punch to stand up to the legacy of its namesake.

What makes this bourbon special is its flavor, a mix of bold and smooth that feels like a nod to the man himself. Take a whiff, and you’re hit with the rich scent of worn leather, like an old saddle that’s seen a few cattle drives. There’s a sweet edge too - think Black Forest cake, with its dark cherry and chocolate notes, layered with toffee and honeyed almonds. It’s the kind of aroma that pulls you in, promising something worth savoring.

On the palate, this bourbon doesn’t disappoint. It’s like biting into a slice of lemon cake drizzled with caramel nougat, with creamy milk chocolate and crunchy almond brittle rounding things out. There’s a touch of honey that keeps it smooth, but it’s not overly sweet. The finish is where it gets interesting - a drying blend of cherry and lemon puree, with a kick of candied ginger, molasses, and a hint of tobacco. It’s complex enough to keep you thinking, but approachable enough to enjoy by the fire after a long day.
Big news for whiskey fans: the Buffalo Bill Cody bourbon is no longer just a Wyoming treasure! Originally exclusive to the state and priced at $79.99, this limited-edition whiskey is now available in select markets across the country, including Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, Maine, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New York, Florida, and Colorado. The national release retains the same bold flavor profile as the Wyoming-exclusive edition, with a slightly lower proof of 48% ABV (96 proof). Wyoming Whiskey isn’t just slapping a famous name on a bottle - they’re honoring Buffalo Bill Cody, the frontiersman who brought the Wild West to the world with his traveling show. He was a larger-than-life figure, and this bourbon aims to match that energy.

It’s the kind of drink that sparks stories - about the land, the man, or maybe just the time you cracked open a bottle with friends under a starry sky.
