Sometimes a devastating tornado leaves a rich behind.

There has been made on the site of the in Frankfort, Kentucky, for more than two hundred years. The first distillery operation that can be continuously traced to Buffalo Trace was started in 1812 by Harrison Blanton (yes, ). He sold the operation in 1870 and it was renamed the Old Fire Copper (O. F. C.) Distillery. It has been bought and sold many times over the intervening decades, but Sazerac has owned the property since 1992. They produce a wide range of Bourbons and Spirits — including their signature Bourbon.

It was a Sunday evening in April 2006 when a terrible storm hit the Buffalo Trace distilleries. A tornado damaged Warehouse C: a precious warehouse, built by , Jr. in 1885. But as tragic as that storm was, it left something unexpectedly good behind. Just how life works sometimes, I guess? Anyway, aging barrels were left exposed to the Central Kentucky climate through the whole summer, while the warehouse was being repaired. Apparently, the unique combination of the sun, the wind, and the elements created a rich Bourbon of unparalleled flavors. Meet Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr Warehouse C Bourbon Whiskey, a bold Bourbon that releases powerful notes of jam-like fruit, vanilla, and a touch of smoke.
