What's Unique

Claims to be the oldest continuously operating distillery in the United States, on a site where commercial distilling began in 1858 (though the location traces to pioneer activity from 1773). Survived floods, fires, Prohibition, and two World Wars. Produces over a dozen brand families including the highly allocated Buffalo Trace, Blanton's, Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor Jr., W.L. Weller, and the Pappy Van Winkle line. The only major American distillery that keeps all mash bills entirely secret.
