Good video! Mark got one thing slightly incorrect though. At about 3:20 he mentions when Blanton's first came out in 1984 that all of it was going to Japan. That's not quite accurate. It was released in the US in the fall of 1984 first and then went to Japan in early 1985. Source: I have done extensive history as one of the largest collectors of Blanton's in the world. Multiple advertisements and newspaper articles from the time can back this up. Still, he has a good point that Japan was the market that most of it went to eventually and for that matter kept Blanton's and bourbon alive when nobody else wanted it! Cheers!
That parting shot of Elmer with tha barrels outta be a t-shirt available on company website! Killer pic🔥oh and the video was completely epic and fresh 👍
@@geno816 no doubt, ive scored a couple taylors and i saw stagg once but i wasnt in line quick enuf to get one. we get stagg once a year and if you miss drop day you missed out entirely.
You will not be disappointed my friend it is fantastic! Unless you like the spicier side of bourbon it's sweet and pleasant. Very easy drinker. I've purchased quite a few different bottles recently amd I keep going back to BT
I have been collecting whiskey for many years I went hard on it in 1991 my whole issue with the Buffalo Trace that I've been drinking since the late '80s something has happened somewhere somehow down the road something changed? When I pull an old dusty out of Elmer t or blatton's from the early '90s or even weller antique vein bottles something's just different whether it was the wood The tree quality? Or grain quality in the last couple of years or so quality has dropped and it's not just me it's everyone I talk to in everywhere I read people are not very happy with the quality of a lot of bourbons that are hitting the store floors it seems like they just out to pump out barrels and the quality has dropped? I'm sure there's some honey barrels that's the case in every distillery but seeing so many other distilleries out there doing amazing things and pumping out delicious juice I think it's time Buffalo Trace starts putting more into their mixing and sniffing and tasting into their bottling line I hope this don't get hated on I'm just a consumer one man's opinion.... Peace and love drink more bourbon
Hello, your wine bottle is so familiar... was it purchased from China? We are a factory specializing in the production of liquor bottles, so I am very sensitive to this. If your company needs new bottles, you can contact me and I will design some solutions for you
Hey Buffalo Trace, stop hiding every drop of whiskey worth drinking behind Allocated bottles! The Beanie Baby Bourbon boom will go the same way. People go out of there way and spend so much to be grossly disappointed. I remember when ancient age tasted good……..then you decided ordinary Americans don’t deserve your drinkable whiskey. You didn’t used to put so much “new make” in the blends. Is this the price for higher volume?
Not sound stupid but I would hope these guys loved black people cause I truly luv the history of this distillery and I’ll probably collect and drink trace for the rest of my life…28 yr old from California lol Elmer came in and and couldn’t get a job lol and ended up being the goat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent storyteller can sit for hours and watch it must do more
Bravo! I love this bourbon. Thank you for your service.
Thank you! I love the historical looks back. My love of bourbon is of course driven by taste, but part of it is the history of 🇺🇸 America's whiskey.
Great insight to the "back story" of Blanton's and Elmer.!

Thanks for putting out some new material - appreciate the history and info...and of course the great juice! Cheers!
Great whiskeys keep up the great work. And the grounds are amazing I really enjoyed the visit!
This really is a great interview and I have watched this a few times. Thank you Mark for giving us a walk thru the history of Buffalo Trace.
What a great interview. The history behind Whiskey is always so fascinating. Thanks for the stories Mark! Maybe someday I will get to taste Blanton's.

Love the history of Blantons ! if we could only get it in Ontario Canada now lol ! Cheers and please keep increasing production!
Cheers!
Elmer T Lee is the one bottle i have never seen in a store for purchase, that what makes hunting rare bourbon so fun!
I got my first one today! Never seen it in the wild before today.
It is the most common to find here. I have 5. Kinda overrated though. I wish they had it in the antique collection at 120 proof.
@@geno816 in virginia we get alot of buffalo trace, eagle rare, and blantons (old label benchmark and the ancient age also).
@OGbrick420 we get those too. Actually they are often on shelves. Our difficult to get is Taylor and stag.
