Buffalo Trace Six Millionth Barrel Bourbon

Buffalo Trace Six Millionth Barrel Bourbon is a rare limited release aged over 10 years from the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky — part of a tradition established by Colonel Blanton who built a one-barrel warehouse to house every millionth barrel, with the Six Millionth signed by three generations of the Johnson family before being rolled into Warehouse V in 2008, limited to 400 bottles.

Buffalo Trace Distillery is one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States, with a heritage on the Frankfort, Kentucky site stretching to 1773. The millionth barrel programme reflects the distillery’s historical significance — each millionth barrel representing a landmark in American whiskey production. The Six Millionth was filled before the Seven Millionth was laid down in 2008, with the Johnson family signatures marking the family legacy of distilling at the site. Each of the 400 bottles is presented in a beautifully crafted wooden box with a clear display window.
