Camp Buffalo Trace
Camp Buffalo Trace on August 29 and September 5 reimagines classic summer camp activities through the lens of America’s native spirit, offering four hands-on experiences that combine craftsmanship, competition, and discovery.
1. Whiskey Woodcraft Workshop – Guests will craft a custom muddler from authentic barrel staves while learning firsthand about the role white oak plays in bourbon making.
2. Bung Driving Relay – Guests put their skills to the test in a cooperage-inspired, fast-paced competition that brings a traditional barrel-preparation technique to life.
3. Blind Tasting & Buffalo Trace Trivia – Guests challenge their sensory skills and bourbon knowledge through this blind tasting and team trivia competition highlighting Buffalo Trace history.
4. Single Barrel Challenge – Guests sample three barrels of the same bourbon at different ages and attempt to identify each one while exploring how time, warehouse placement and maturation influence a whiskey’s final character.
The Camp Buffalo Trace Sweepstakes begins July 14, 2026, at 12:00 pm (noon) ET and ends July 21, 2026, at 11:59 am ET. No purchase is necessary to enter. To enter, or to learn more about the official rules, please visit www.buffalotracedistillery.com/camp.
