点评:We were in town celebrating a friend’s 40th birthday, and since Buffalo Trace is one of his absolute favorites, it was a must-visit on our list—and we loved it so much, we ended up going twice!
The first time, we rolled in an hour before closing with no tour reservations, and were thrilled to find out they offer free quick tastings. The team was so welcoming, and the tasting gave us a great intro to some of their core bourbons. Afterward, we stopped by the cocktail bar upstairs, which is not only inexpensive but absolutely delicious. I had the Lucky Penny and it was chef’s kiss—smooth, balanced, and super sippable.
There were 8 of us, and let’s just say we did not leave empty-handed… we collectively dropped around $2000 on bottles and goodies—no regrets!
On our way out of town, five of us made a second stop, and this time we got lucky and snagged spots on the EH Taylor tour, which was also complementary (incredible value, seriously). It was so cool learning about the history of the distillery, the flooding, and seeing the newly unearthed areas of the grounds. I’m not even a big bourbon drinker, but I found it super interesting to learn about the process and see the barrel storage in person.
Our guide (I believe his name was Jimmy) was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate—he really brought the story of Buffalo Trace to life.
We left with even more bourbon than the first time, including Blanton’s, which my husband was thrilled to add to his collection.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the layout is genius—everything is easy to find, well-labeled, and organized to make the experience seamless from start to finish.
If you’re even thinking about visiting Buffalo Trace, do it. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon lover or just curious, it’s an unforgettable stop that we’d recommend to anyone. 🖤🥃
翻译:我们当时在城里庆祝一位朋友的四十岁生日,而布法罗踪迹酒厂(Buffalo Trace)是他最爱的酒厂之一,所以它自然成了我们此行的必去之地——而且我们太喜欢这里了,以至于去了两次!
第一次,我们在关门前一小时才到,而且没有预约参观,却惊喜地发现他们提供免费的快速品鉴。酒厂的工作人员非常热情,品鉴活动让我们对他们的一些核心波本威士忌有了初步的了解。之后,我们去了楼上的鸡尾酒吧,那里的酒不仅价格实惠,而且味道也棒极了。我点了一杯“幸运便士”(Lucky Penny),简直完美——口感顺滑、平衡,非常容易入口。
我们一行八人,可以说我们可不是空手而归……我们一共花了大约2000美元买了酒和各种小玩意儿——一点也不后悔!
离开小镇时,我们一行五人又去了一趟布法罗踪迹酒厂。这次我们运气不错,抢到了EH Taylor酒厂的免费导览名额(真的超值!)。了解酒厂的历史、当年的洪水以及参观新近发掘的遗址,感觉非常棒。我平时不太喝波本威士忌,但亲眼看到酒桶的储存过程和酿造过程,还是觉得特别有意思。
我们的导游(我记得他叫吉米)知识渊博、热情友好,而且充满激情——他把布法罗踪迹酒厂的故事讲得栩栩如生。
我们这次带走的波本威士忌比第一次还多,包括布兰顿(Blanton's),我丈夫非常高兴能把它加入他的收藏。
酒厂的景色美极了,布局也堪称完美——所有设施都清晰易找,标识明确,井然有序,让整个参观过程无比顺畅。
如果你正在考虑去布法罗踪迹酒厂,那就别犹豫了,一定要去!无论您是资深的波本威士忌爱好者,还是只是出于好奇,这都是一次令人难忘的体验,我们强烈推荐给所有人。🖤🥃
