Buffalo Trace Distillery Releases 2014 Antique Collection Whiskeys
Buffalo Trace Distillery will release its 2014 Antique Collection in late September. The collection will feature five limited-release whiskeys of various ages, recipes and proofs.
George T. Stagg
Barrels for this year’s George T. Stagg bottling were selected from Warehouses C, H, I, K, L, P, and Q. This uncut and unfiltered bourbon was distilled back in the spring of 1998 and weighs in at 138.1 proof. Although still highly allocated, there are a few more bottles available this year, since Buffalo Trace increased distillation for George T. Stagg back in 1997.
William Larue Weller
The Antique Collection’s uncut, unfiltered, wheated recipe bourbon is William Larue Weller. The 2014 offering was distilled in the spring of 2002 and aged on the second, third, fourth, and sixth floors of Warehouses D, K, and L. This bourbon registers in at 140.2 proof – the strongest Weller release ever.
Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye
Thomas H. Handy is the uncut and unfiltered straight rye whiskey. This year’s Handy was distilled in the spring of 2008, aged on the fifth floor of Warehouse M and weighs in at 129.2 proof.
Eagle Rare 17 Year Old
The 2014 edition has been aging on the second, third and sixth floors of Warehouses I and K. This bourbon was aged nearly two decades.
