Wyoming Whiskey announces the launch of Buffalo Bill Cody, a Wyoming-exclusive limited-edition bourbon that honors Buffalo Bill’s legacy.

Wyoming Whiskey Launches a Legendary Limited Release in the heart of the American West, where legends are born and barrels breathe in mountain air, Wyoming Whiskey has just unleashed something special: Buffalo Bill Cody – a Wyoming-exclusive, limited-edition bourbon that pays tribute to one of the most iconic figures in frontier history.
This release isn’t just about whiskey. It’s about legacy.
A Bourbon Worthy of a Legend
Buffalo Bill Cody was a force of nature—Pony Express rider, Union soldier, Medal of Honor recipient, and founder of the town that bears his name. But it was his role as a showman that carved his place into history. With his Wild West show, Cody brought the untamed spirit of the frontier to the world stage. He was, as Annie Oakley once put it, “the simplest of men, as comfortable with cowboys as he was with kings.”
To honor this larger-than-life legend, Wyoming Whiskey crafted a bourbon from the ground up—literally. Using grains grown in Wyoming soil and distilled in Kirby, this 6-year-old bourbon is a blend of 26 carefully selected barrels. Every drop is steeped in the terroir of the Cowboy State.

Built on Flavor, Designed for the Frontier
Master Blender Brendan Cook described the whiskey as something Buffalo Bill himself might have carried in his saddlebag: bold, complex, and grounded in tradition.
“We leaned into the Buffalo Bill name and created a liquid that we believe Bill would have enjoyed himself,” said Cook. “It’s distinct from anything else in our lineup, with notes of leather and tobacco balanced by the comforting sweetness we expect from Wyoming Whiskey.”
Tasting Notes:
Color: Copper
Nose: Leather, Black Forest cake, toffee, honeyed almonds
Palate: Lemon cake, caramel nougat, milk chocolate, almond brittle, honey
Finish: Cherry and lemon purée, candied ginger, molasses, tobacco
At 97 proof (48.5% ABV) and retailing for $79.99, this limited-edition straight bourbon whiskey is available exclusively in Wyoming. And with only a small number of barrels behind it, this is one for collectors, connoisseurs, and anyone who knows a good story deserves a great pour.
Why It Matters
Wyoming Whiskey’s annual state-exclusive releases are more than just limited bottles—they’re a celebration of the people, places, and stories that make Wyoming unforgettable. This year, with Buffalo Bill Cody, they’ve distilled not just bourbon, but a piece of the Wild West.
So saddle up, whiskey fans. Because this bottle doesn’t just sip—it tells a tale.
