Re: ENTER here to Win A free bottle of bourbon!
damn Tom, ya beat me to it
[SIZE=-1]Buffalo Trace Distillery provides for the complete production of bourbon whiskys. All bourbon produced by the distillery is aged in century-old warehouses. Constructed of massive wood beams and covered by a brick shell, these structures allow the alternating cooling and warming of Kentucky's four distinct seasons to mature the bourbon by nature's timetable.[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Steam pumped throughout the warehouses during the extreme cold of winter compensates for the dramatic drops in temperature and gives the whisky additional cycles in and out of the wood. This makes for a more balanced bourbon, as the liquid is able to take additional advantage of the natural sugars occurring in the charred barrels. The distillery was the first to use this method of aging in 1859 and has been doing so ever since. [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Buffalo Trace's warehouses were built in the 1900s (some as early as 1903) and represent a variety of architectural styles. The differing styles of warehouses, and their location on the property, contribute to the significant differences in the whisky coming from each. Within each warehouse, certain floors produce better whisky than others do. For example, the fourth and fifth floors of Warehouse C and the fourth through sixth floors of Warehouses I and K produce our absolute best whisky. Consequently, these locations have been reserved exclusively for making Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whisky.[/SIZE] Buffalo Trace Distillery “Firsts” To ship whisky down the Mississippi River To use steam power for distilling To heat the warehouses To use the "bung-up" method To use reverse osmosis water To commercially market single barrel Bourbon American distillery to be named "Distillery of the Year"

Re: ENTER here to Win A free bottle of bourbon!
Technically, it wasn't Buffalo Trace Distillery until 1999. The original distillery I believe was called Blanton's. So Buffalo Trace was not the first to ship down the Mississippi, but the distillery that was to BECOME Buffalo Trace was!
Do I win! Do I win! Bob R in OKC (Just purchased two new bottles of Buffalo Trace bourbon!)

Re: ENTER here to Win A free bottle of bourbon!
Thanks for all who played! The orginal ditellery was named after the proprieter himself I believe, George T stagg was teh Original name. From Buffalo trace website: "The George T. Stagg distillery was renamed Buffalo Trace in June 1999 and introduced its flagship bourbon, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, in August 1999."

Re: ENTER here to Win A free bottle of bourbon!
So where's the Blanton's (my bourbon of choice btw) come in or is that made by a different distillery?

Re: ENTER here to Win A free bottle of bourbon!
Blanton's is most definitely made by the buffalo trace distellery! All bottles are hand labeled and numbered! It is a great tour to take! I went during KY Bourbon festival and had a blast!
Other whiskeys made by BT are: Elmer T LEE Weller Hancock's Eagle Rare Ten Yr Eagle Rare 27 YR Sazerac Rye Geore T. Stagg Old Charter Rain Organic Vodka and some others that escape me at the moment! |

Re: ENTER here to Win A free bottle of bourbon!
Even though just about every barrel in BT's warehouses boasts the wording "Ancient Age" and the water tower announces the same, the distillery was NEVER named "Ancient Age".
If I recall correctly, amongst other titles, the distillery was named George T. Stagg (twice). |
