The Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection recreates five brands of yore, in an ultra-pricey box set for whiskey collectors.
Any time that Sazerac Co.’s Buffalo Trace unveils a new limited edition whiskey, that’s big news for the spirits world. An entire collection of limited edition bourbon, rye whiskeys and blended whiskeys, on the other hand? That’s another level entirely. It’s safe to say, then, that the recentsent some shockwaves through the whiskey geek fandom, not only for the chance to experience brand new BT expressions, but for the collection’s sky high $1,000 MSRP.
All of the brands, then, have long historic roots, and none have existed as active whiskey brands in recent memory. We were lucky enough to receive small press samples of the five whiskey brands, so let’s get into tasting each of them, presented here in ascending order by proof.Buffalo Trace says the following about Walnut Hill, a 90-proof, high-rye bourbon brand:
The earliest reference to Three Feathers indicates it was first made in 1812. Originally advertised as a luxurious rye whiskey, it would later become a bonded whiskey and then a blended whiskey. The three ostrich feathers were chosen as a logo as they were synonymous with royalty in the 1800s; They would later represent the three people involved in creating the Three Feathers blend.
On the nose, Golden Wedding is immediately distinct from the other bottles in this collection, with delicate herbal and floral rye, into anise spice, apple flesh and hints of nutty cocoa or cocoa nibs. Sweetly floral on the palate, this one features honeyed sweetness and lots of herbal rye grain, dill, green apple, pepper and some charred astringency.
