Attention bourbon lovers who might be in Paris this summer: Buffalo Trace Distillery has opened a “temporary pop-up shop” in the heart of the City of Lights. In addition to Paris-themed BT merch, you’ll be able to buy whiskeys including Buffalo Trace, Weller 12, Eagle Rare and Sazerac Rye.
But wait, there’s more. On July 26, Buffalo Trace will open Gold 12, “a bespoke, invite-only Weller-themed lounge created especially for the experience.” A lucky few will be part of groups of 4 for complimentary private tastings including “some of the first pours in Europe of the newly released, ultra-rare Weller Millennium.”
Gold 12 will close on August 11 and the Buffalo Trace retail experience will close on August 23. Follow @buffalotracedistillery_UK_EU for updates on how to apply for a spot at Gold 12.
"In May of this year we opened Buffalo Trace London, our Distillery’s first international location, and we’re honored to continue engaging and educating international whiskey fans with our Paris store this summer. While everyone is welcome to visit Buffalo Trace Distillery in the United States, we want to make it easier for Paris residents and visitors to learn, explore, try, and fall in love with our whiskeys. We know there will be an increase in foot traffic to the city in July and August, and our prime location will give visitors an excuse to go beyond sporting and cultural events while in town.”
