Neither Buffalo Trace nor Eagle Rare are difficult typo find here. I prefer the former.

Buffalo Trace is on the shelf here, as is Eagle Rare. We also get all of the Four Roses aplenty.
Just don't try to find anything with the name "Weller" in it. Or "Van Winkle."

Buffalo Trace (own)
Eagle Rare (own)
White Dog
Vodka

So I did the white dog and vodka.

What they have to sample can vary, just depends on what they are botteling at the time.

Hard to find here; if you want it you put your name on a list and they will call you when it comes in. Only get one or two cases every three or four months.It is Very smooth.

I just had a friend who lives in KY bring me 2 cases of Buffalo Trace mini bottles. I take these on planes so I am not stuck with choosing between Jack and Woodford.

Buffalo Trace is the best I have ever had when price is factored in. The warehouse where they age it smells like heaven. Finding it can be tricky. Many liquor stores around here do not carry anything from their distillery. Total Wine and More, keeps it in a locked cabinet.

I thought opening your own alcohol on a plane was a federal crime. If it's not I really need to be doing this as well.

Buffalo Trace makes 14 brands of bourbon in over 40 different variations.

At one time the granddaughter of George Stagg worked at Buffalo Trace. Very interesting lady to talk to.

An excellent bourbon.
