Buffalo Trace

Distilling at what is now Buffalo Trace in Frankfort probably began in the 1850’s, but Edmund Haynes Taylor (yes, there’s an E.H. Taylor line) bought whatever was there and renamed it the “Old Fire Copper” distillery (OFC) in 1870. After an 1872 expansion, George T. Stagg (yep, there’s a BT label named after him as well) bought the place in 1878 only to have it struck by lightning and burn to the ground merely four years later. The 16 year old Albert Blanton (you guessed it – more whiskey named for him) started there in 1897 and was promoted to Superintendent in 1900. As Prohibition was winding down, the Schenley company bought the distillery, now named after Mr. Stagg in the wave of consolidation that saw distributors and marketers own distilleries.

In 1983, the plant was sold to some investors who were focused on the Japanese market under the name Age International. Though other companies will argue this point, what is now these investors did come up with Blanton’s. the first “single barrel” Bourbon in 1984.

  • Re Hello Brooklyn 2.0, 5 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Is this the actual recipe circa 2019? Or is it a guestimate of it (e.g. likely altered rather than authentic?) I haven't tried it, but at first read it looks unbalanced (sweet) as an equal parts. The undated note above says that the menu listed rye, cardamaro, dry vermouth, chartreuse verte; and the 2023 menu (online) says "Rye, Amaro, Dry Vermouth, Chartreuse Verte." So the establishment might be varying the amaro used; but I do wonder if the original used green rather than yellow chartreuse.

  • Re Torres del Paine, 5 days ago Mixin In Ansley commented:

    Needs .25 oz simple to sweeten but also round the cocktail

  • Re Hello Brooklyn 2.0, 5 days ago Artur B commented:

    Too sweet. Less amaro and chartreuse I think.

  • Re Lacrimosa, 6 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Good, but overly stout at nearly 81 proof before ice dilution. Next time I will try it w/1.5 oz of Rittenhouse to tame the heat a little and to get the total alcohol content below 1.2 oz.

    Candy like sweet but pleasantly so. The gin is a little bit lost.
