The Buffalo Bourbon Empire

PROHIBITION REVIVED
Award-winning Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey launches The Buffalo Bourbon Empire next week in Central London to celebrate London Cocktail Week. This pop-up bar, nestled in London’s West End, will be inspired by the Prohibition era from its discreet curtain-cloaked entrance through to the authentic American cocktails served by conspicuous waiters donning spats and braces. Whilst sipping a Sazerac, prop yourself up on a barrel and try your hand at Craps, Toss the Boss or even make your own cocktails for a true taste of the underground speakeasy.

BUFFALO TRACE SURVIVES PROHIBITION
Buffalo Trace distillery, established in 1787, was 1 of only 4 distilleries in America to survive Prohibition, which lasted from 1919 until 1933. Prohibition marked a very successful period in the distillery’s history through the possession of a permit to continue distillation for medicinal purposes, during which over 6 million ‘whiskey prescriptions’ were fulfilled.

BUFFALO TRACE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON
On the banks of the famous Kentucky River where the buffalo crossed on their ancient westerly migratory route, Buffalo Trace is distilled, aged and bottled at the most award-winning distillery in the world. Crafted with the finest Kentucky and Indiana corn, selected rye and superior malted barley, this bourbon is aged in new oak barrels for 8 – 12 years in century old warehouses until the peak of maturity, determined by our Master Blender Drew Mayville. Buffalo Trace has a complex aroma of vanilla, mint and molasses, a pleasantly sweet taste with notes of brown sugar, spice, oak and leather, and a long, dry yet smooth finish.
