Buffalo Trace White Dog Welcome

Buffalo Trace Welcome - White Dog Days Weekend - October 2009

Buffalo Trace Distillery hosts White Dog Days this weekend.  Festivities began last night with a tour of the distillery and special toast with White Dog by Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley and barrel signing by all invited guests.  Everyone can join in on White Dog Days fun by venturing out to Keeneland Racecourse this afternoon.  The first 1,000 patrons to enter the gate receive a pair of Buffalo Trace jockey goggles.  Patrons may also enter the Buffalo Trace Distillery Sweepstakes.  White Dog Days weekend offers more exciting events open to the public at the Buffalo Trace Distillery Saturday.  Don’t miss out.

 

I had the opportunity to take an inside look at the Buffalo Trace Distillery Thursday evening.  Photos from the distillery along with Harlen Wheatley toasting with White Dog may be found on the National Cocktails Examiner page.  A few more favorite photos from the evening are featured below.

 

There are some amazing old buildings on the Buffalo Trace Distillery property this is just one small example of beautiful old windows that just mesmerize.

Bubbling Mash - tastes like yeasty beer.  It wasn't obvious at first, but at closer examination the grain and color became apparent.  This is just fascinating.
