Buffalo Trace’s gift shop release odds for Thursday, May 19, 2022:
W.L. Weller Special Reserve | 38.99% |
E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch | 34.11% |

Blanton’s | 8.90% |
Sazerac Rye | 1.95% |
Single Oak Project | 0.00% |
Total | 100.00% |
Word on the street is that W.L. Weller Special Reserve was recently missing from the tasting tours. it will be interesting to see if we see an absence of the Special Reserve being released for a couple of days. We are now going on day nine without Weller being offered.
The odds are calculated using historical data and are not a guarantee. We want to encourage everyone to visit the Buffalo Trace Distillery even if the bottle they wish for isn’t the odds on favorite for that day.
