Another Frankfort landmark is the Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the oldest continually operating distilleries in the country.  The distillery, which has gone by a variety of names including the George Stagg Distillery, produces a variety of bourbons like the namesake Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon and the venerable Old Charter.  The distillery was allowed to maintain operations during prohibition in order to make whiskey for "medicinal purposes."
