Wheatley Vodka originates from Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of America’s oldest and most historically significant spirits producers. The brand was developed to expand the distillery’s identity beyond bourbon, showcasing American craftsmanship through the lens of vodka production.
Named after Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley, the brand reflects a philosophy of precision, innovation, and cross-category expertise, drawing on generations of distilling knowledge rooted in Kentucky’s whiskey tradition. Wheatley Vodka symbolizes a modern extension of American spirits culture into a category historically dominated by European producers.
Its emergence reflects broader shifts in consumer preferences toward cleaner, more versatile spirits, as well as the increasing prestige of American-made vodka. It embodies the idea that American distillation heritage extends beyond whiskey, reinforcing the country’s growing influence in global spirits markets.
As a brand, Wheatley Vodka represents technical mastery, modern refinement, and the adaptability of historic distilling institutions.
