Bourbon must be made in the United States, but it is enjoyed around the world. And there will soon be a unique new location in England to enjoy a spot of bourbon. Buffalo Trace Distillery London is set to open its doors for a “first-of-its-kind American whiskey experience” on May 6 in the Covent Garden section of the United Kingdom’s capital city.
Tickets for both tastings can be pre-booked now via BuffaloTraceDistillery.co.uk.
Much like they do in Frankfort, Kentucky, visitors in London will first take “a narrative journey highlighting the history of America’s oldest continuously operating distillery,” before participating in a bourbon tasting.
- Taste of the Trace – a guided tasting of three outstanding expressions from Buffalo Trace Distillery’s core product lineup: Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Sazerac Rye, Bourbon Cream and the option of a Buffalo and Ginger Ale cocktail sample.
- Tradition & Change: Crafting the Most Awarded American Whiskey – a more intimate experience featuring 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 £34.99.

"Opening Buffalo Trace Distillery London is a momentous occasion for our Distillery and we are thrilled to bring our experience to the United Kingdom. At Buffalo Trace Distillery London, we’ll offer a space for spirits novices and lovers to learn more about a whiskey type they are perhaps less familiar with - bourbon. Our aim is to inspire visitors to broaden their palates, and perhaps their cocktails, and we’re hopeful after learning about bourbon and tasting it, they will add it to their drink list.”
