| Description: | Like its predecessors, the 1993 Vintage will arrive in a wooden display box containing a provenance card. Inside the wooden box lies a crystal bottle with real copper lettering in-laid in the bottle with a hand applied paper label. The label on the back of the bottle notes the milestones for the year 1993. The provenance card contains the same information found on the back label. The O. F. C. vintage-dated bourbons has a name derived from this National Historic Landmark's original moniker - the O.f.c. Distillery - renowned for producing top class whiskey during its tenure. Tasting notes for this 25-year-old bourbon describe it as having a nose of dark cherry, honey, and smoked oak. On the palate, notes of caramel, toasted vanilla, and cocoa are found. For the finish, coffee, maple syrup and oak linger. "It's hard to believe that the same year this bourbon was made, in 1993, the world wide web was just becoming a 'thing,' and introduced to the public domain," said Harlen Wheatley, master distiller. "Now when you think of how far everything has come, from a technology standpoint to bourbon's popularity again, it's mind blowing. What's really amazing is how solid this bourbon is, and how the taste and integrity have held up. It's a real tribute to Elmer and Gary Gayheart and the rest of the team at the Distillery for this vintage to have this consistency and taste this good after aging for 25 years.". This 1993 Vintage is actually the third release of the O.f.c. Vintage whiskey, but the second offered for sale. In the fall of 2016 Buffalo Trace Distillery released three vintage-dated bourbons, exclusively to non-profit organizations at no charge to raise money for their causes. Those bottles, from 1980, 1982, and 1983 were auctioned at charity last spring, and raised nearly $1.2 million for a variety of causes such as cancer services, cystic fibrosis, leukemia and lymphoma, children's rights, autism, military veterans, animal protection, arts foundations, and many more. Wine maker notes Colonel E.h. Taylor Jr. christened the O.f.c. Disti llery in 1870 and this legendary whiskey brand has been revered ever since. The most state-of-the-art distillery of its era featured copper fermentation vats, column stills, and a first-of-its-kind steam heating system, still used in our aging warehouses today. This very rare and collectible bourbon honors the O.f.c. Distillery, a National Historic Landmark known today as Buffalo Trace Distillery. Each hand-cut crystal bottle is vintage dated according to the specific year in which the bourbon was distilled. Enjoy this whiskey of a bygone era, sourced from barrels of yesteryear. |
