Ancient Age is a brand of bourbon whiskey distilled in Frankfort, Kentucky, at the Buffalo Trace Distillery.
In 1983 the Ancient Age brand was sold by Schenley to Age International.
The product line also includes Ancient Age Preferred blended whiskey, bottled at 80 proof.
About some variation of the brand, food critic Morgan Murphy said "The finish leapfrogs the tongue and goes straight to the throat."
Ancient Age is referred to several times in the novella Apt Pupil by Stephen King. Ancient Age is the brand of bourbon drunk by James StewartâÂÂs and Arthur O'ConnellâÂÂs characters in Otto Preminger's 1959 film Anatomy of a Murder.
