Hancock’s President’s Reserve is one of several single barrel bourbons distilled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery and is said to supposedly utilize the company's high rye mashbill. According to Sazerac, “In 1775, the Leestown settlement was established along the banks of the Kentucky River by Willis and Hancock Lee. Soon this became a well-known shipping port for tobacco, hemp and whiskey. The Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of Hancock Lee.”
