This was awesome to see! As a home distiller who likes making whiskey, it’s almost incomprehensible to image filling even a single barrel, let alone a thousand a day!!! It’s incredibly challenging to make good whiskey and it’s amazing to see it blown up to such a scale and so optimized.
We were at Buffalo Trace in October of 22 and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Completely worth the trip from the west coast. One thing you can’t get on video is that great smell of the mash and rick house.
Thank you for all this amazing information I run a liquor department in my grocery store and it’s always great to have so much more information about how this process works I would love to tour the facility one day thanks once again
The thing I find most amazing about this tour is the fact that even with all that product, the only tiny amount of it that I have been able to procure is a single lonely bottle of Buffalo Trace. And I only got that because the clerk at the ABC store here in NC had one hidden behind the counter! And that is the bottom rung bottle that Buffalo Trace offers! Where in the world is all that juice hiding!??!!
The bottom rung bottles for each mashbill are Benchmark and Ancient Age. And even that can be a bit difficult to find around where I live due to the distributor issues.
Fantastic Video! I have toured this distillery several times. Did one during the summer when they were not cooking. Got to see the original maturation tanks!
Really cool! And Mark, what a cool dude. And as always Tim, great job. You have the perfect voice and disposition for what you do. Buffalo Trace is lucky to have you!
Very cool and lots of information, I had no idea what they did with the barrels. Me and my wife will be visiting as many distilleries as we can in 5 days the March.
Interesting to see how the proces works. With automated processes these days it's nice to see that there're still people involved in the making op whisky; considering the amount af noise I hear in the video, do they not wear PPE?
I'm not the least bit surprised that it's lots of work to do a high volume bourbon production operation. To have a consistent supply in the future you've got to get a whole bunch of things done right now.
Very insiteful and I enjoyed this indepth tour of Buffalo Trace, I love this burbon and a great part of our American past. Definately something that would not be offered on a normal walk around as you and your guide have mentioned. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not a safety inspector by any means. I know the distillery is old, I love that old feel of the brick and rails. If it looked safe to you great maybe there was something I missed with the video, but why aren't the guys wearing ear plugs or saftey glasses where its loud or hammering bungs? Safety harness for the guy on the lift?
it amazes me nobody hast to wear a hard hat or ear protection, i wouldn't walk into that place without earplugs. here in canada we're a lot more strict about safety.
When it comes to the consumption of Whiskey one really need's to be disciplined with acknowledging the potential danger's of excessive use. The commercials or advertisements of both Whiskey and Bourbon make it appear a man has reached a level of sophistication and perhaps peer acceptance as an above average looking man takes a swig with his 4 to 5 day stubble, the subtle message is if one partakes in a particular brand, they have arrived. What is not advertised is the fact alcohol has ruined the lives of the well intentioned. Alcoholism has destroyed so many marriages, children suffer from the unstable family unit thrust upon them. Cirrhosis of the liver and complications caused by excessive drinking has been the early death of many. The DUI'S and innocent people being killed by drunk driving is downplayed in these crafty marketing campaigns. Some of the brand names may have a blurb on the label that says " Drink Responsibly " .. really just a facade. I recognize some are able to have one or two drinks without the booze hi-jacking their lives, but all too many develop alcohol addiction and all of the problems not mentioned in their advertising pitch. This is my observation for what it may be worth.

The pride these workers have in what they do resonates. Thank you for this insider look into the process.
He gives the credit to his guys you can tell he takes care of his men salute he truly gets it!!!!
One thing I learned in the Marines is put your rank on the line daily for your men. All the credit goes to the crew not me! 👊🏼

@10:00 Don't ever accept a bet to play Whack-A-Mole with Brett. You'll lose every time! ;-))
As a Cooper from Kentucky Cooperage, it's interesting to see the other side of this process.
Thanks for a really interesting video tour. It's nice to see how a quality bourbon is made and aged.
Thank you Mark! This was inspiring and humbling. What an amazing group of Americans you got there making one of the last truly American products 💪
Thank you so much. I take pride in everything I do and I always stay humble

Fascinating stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m a head lab tech for a major oil company. I bet being in the distillery lab is interesting.

I'd love to work there for a day!
Great whiskey Wednesday

Warehouse crews ftw!
Does rain on barrels affect the product inside?
I like how he knows the names of his employees. He gaf
👍the tour. How do you determine the year the bottle was bottled?
Be nice if we could find Buffalo Trace products in Idaho. They aren’t available????
I’m in CoeurdAlene and I find BuffaloTrace /Sazarac products routinely in the local liquor stores
it amazes me nobody hast to wear a hard hat or ear protection, i wouldn't walk into that place without earplugs. here in canada we're a lot more strict about safety.

Dude, buy a tripod or one of those auto-stabilising sticks!
Buffalo Trace a pretty non diverst company for over 200 yrs 🤣

Either dude had a lot of ex-girlfriends or he’s covering up some questionable tattoos 🤔
Yeah my arm is actually black with a Marine Praying as a silhouette with 4 blank dog tags of men I lost in Afghanistan. Any other questions?
