Description

The Last Drop Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon 18 Year Old 45.0 abv 1982


Last Drop Release No.13, distilled in 1982 at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort KY, bottled in 2018 at natural cask strength, bottle #33 of 44, drawn from a single cask, accompanying booklet, stopper and 5cl miniature within original presentation case


This whiskey was distilled in 1982. The front label on the bottle states 'matured in virgin American oak for more than 18 years'. The information in the press releases from the time varies, but generally concludes that the bourbon was removed from the barrel 'at its peak' to avoid 'over-ageing'. Based on this information, we have listed this bottle an 18 Year Old. It's likely the whiskey was removed after this and then tanked, until bottling in 2018.
