Buffalo Trace 6 Millionth Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Collectors Edition

ABOUT THE ITEM UP FOR AUCTION: 

Just over a year ago, in April 2018, Buffalo Trace Distillery rolled its seven millionth barrel produced since Prohibition into Warehouse V, the world’s only bonded single barrel aging warehouse. That meant, of course, the existing sixth millionth barrel that had been residing in Warehouse V since 2008 would need to take up new residence. 

Promptly moved into another warehouse to mature for another year, this bourbon has aged a full 10 years 11 months. The six millionth barrel of Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has been filled into 375ml bottles and was made available exclusively to non-profit organizations for fund raising opportunities.

Each bottle from the Sixth Millionth Barrel has a beautifully handwritten description on the glass. The bottles in turn have been packaged in a numbered hardwood showcase box that includes a piece of the charred oak stave from the historic barrel and small brochure explaining the significance of this collector’s edition.

Buffalo Trace Distillery offered all 400 bottles to charitable organizations across the country free of charge to auction off and raise money for their worthwhile causes. APFED was chosen to be one of the recipients of this distinct, rare opportunity and we have chosen to use it to help grow our HOPE on the Horizon Research Program.  All proceeds from the sale of this item will go directly to APFED’s research program to help find a cure for Eosinophilic Disorders.

This commemorative bottling of the Buffalo Trace Sixth Million Barrel will not be available in stores.
