Buffalo Trace Distillery, known for its sought-after bourbons like Weller, Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, and Pappy Van Winkle, has faced scarcity due to high demand. However, a recent expansion aims to double whiskey production to meet this demand. The new 40-foot-tall stillhouse, opened in February 2023, duplicates the existing still, allowing for increased production of Buffalo Trace's entire whiskey portfolio. This expansion, part of a $1.2 billion project initiated in 2015, also includes a new boiler house and additional fermenters. Despite the increased production, the effects won't be immediate due to the aging process, with Pappy Van Winkle's availability still several years away due to its aging requirements. Nevertheless, Buffalo Trace is optimistic about meeting consumer demand with twice the whiskey production in the coming years. Read the full article for more information.
