Buffalo Trace Bourbon announced its new collaboration with Bettinardi Golf, maker of precision-milled putters for over 25 years. 

The Buffalo Trace x Bettinardi Collaboration is a tribute to the mighty buffalo and rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, honoring the aging and distillation process in its design. 

Available in BB8 Classic, Studio Stock 3, Queen B6 and Queen B6 Left-Handed models, each putter is crafted from 303 Stainless Steel, featuring a unique wood insert from a real, previously filled Buffalo Trace barrel and Bettinardi’s Fancy face milling for an exceptional feel. 

The Distressed Slate finish, a nod to the bourbon distillation process, gives the putter a rugged aesthetic, complemented by a wood grain engraving on the sole  alongside the iconic Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey logo. Paired with a matching Buffalo Trace blade headcover, this putter captures the essence of heritage and craftsmanship.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Buffalo Trace, a brand that shares our commitment to craftsmanship and heritage,” Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf, said in a news release. “This collaboration brings together two companies dedicated to quality and heritage, and we can’t wait for golf and bourbon enthusiasts to experience the unique products we’ve crafted together.”

“Achieving greatness in both golf and bourbon requires a refined touch, patient practice,and passion for precision,” Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director, Buffalo Trace Distillery, said. “Like our distilling and aging teams, the craftsmen at Bettinardi are fueled by a drive for perfection and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. With the Buffalo Trace Putter, they’ve created an exceptional product that honors tradition while pushing the boundaries of quality and distinction.”

The agreement between Buffalo Trace and Bettinardi Golf was brokered by Brandgenuity, the licensing agency for Sazerac.

The Buffalo Trace x Bettinardi Putters and Headcovers are now available for purchase on-site at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, KY and BuffaloTraceDistillery.com at a suggested retail price of $900 per putter; headcovers for $90 (excluding shipping and state taxes, as applicable).
