Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection #2

The second release of this annual collection is crafted to pay tribute to whiskeys that were produced at Buffalo Trace (which was then called George T. Stagg Distillery) while the 18th Amendment was still in effect. If you didn’t know it, only six distilleries were given licenses to produce whiskey for medical use.

The distillery that is now known as Buffalo Trace was one of those distilleries. The whiskeys included are Mirror Brook, Very Oldest Procurable (V.O.P.), Anderson’s Belle, Old Fashioned Mountain Corn, and Silver Wedding Rye Whiskey.

“As the oldest continuously operating distillery in America, Buffalo Trace Distillery carries a legacy built by pioneers like Albert B. Blanton, who guided it through Prohibition,” Harlen Wheatley, Buffalo Trace Master Distiller said in a press release. “The Prohibition Collection honors that history while embodying our long-lasting commitment to crafting exceptional whiskey.”

Not only do you get some outstanding whiskey when you purchase this collection. You get a collectible piece of history. The collection is packaged in a custom-made wood display case that features historic images of the distillery. The whiskeys come in 375ml bottles, the original bottle size of the era.

“The second edition of the Prohibition Collection invites enthusiasts to explore and discuss the history behind these whiskeys,” Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director at Buffalo Trace Distillery said in a press release. “Faithful updates to significant brands that came to Buffalo Trace to age during Prohibition, these new expressions embody our motto of ‘Honor Tradition, Embrace Change.’ After releasing the first set, we were thrilled to see lots of conversation around these previously-forgotten brands. We look forward to hearing more forgotten stories as these new expressions are released into the world.”

This artisanal tequila begins with Blue Weber agave hearts that are baked in a traditional oven made by digging a pit in the ground and lighting wood and volcanic rocks. After baking, the agave is shredded, and the juice is fermented and combined with the brand’s proprietary yeast. It’s then double-distilled in copper pot stills, resulting in a memorable tequila that will make you rethink the depths of flavor that blanco tequila can contain.
