FRANKFORT, Ky. — Buffalo Trace Distillery announced plans to launch a first-of-its-kind American whiskey experience just across the pond in London. Buffalo Trace Distillery London will be located at 32-33 Long Acre in the Covent Garden area of London in late 2023.
“Buffalo Trace Distillery’s relentless commitment to quality aging and distilling has cultivated fans around the globe,” said Jake Wenz, CEO and president at Buffalo Trace Distillery. “Buffalo Trace Distillery London is the first home for our American whiskeys outside of Kentucky, USA, and we are honored to put down roots in the United Kingdom.”
In a news release, the distillery said the London location will invite spirit enthusiasts to taste the best of what American whiskey has to offer while sharing the “storied history and authenticity” of the third oldest distillery in the world. Buffalo trace says the experience will be immersive and sensorial, culminating in an exclusive tasting experience at one of two bars.
Guests visiting Buffalo Trace Distillery London can select from one of two experiences. The first offering, Taste of the Trace, will feature a guided tasting of the distillery’s core product lineup: Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Sazerac Rye, Bourbon Cream and the option of a Buffalo and Ginger Ale cocktail sample.
The second tasting experience, Tradition & Change: Crafting the Most Awarded American Whiskey, will feature a selection of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s premium expression lineup, including: White Dog Mash #1, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Eagle Rare 10-Year-Old, E.H. Taylor Small Batch, and a small pour of a Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned.
Tastings will range in price depending on selection, up to £29.99.
The new 2,000-square-foot-space will include a retail store where guests can purchase whiskey bottles, including some rarer whiskey offerings, and unique merchandise.
