We are going on day 27 without a Sazerac Rye release at the distillery. This is the longest stretch we’ve seen since being introduced to the lineup in September last year.
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.
We haven’t heard an official confirmation on the Single Oak Project being eliminated from Buffalo Trace’s lineup but it has been over a year since being released. The Single Oak Project odds are included every Sunday, the only day it has been released at the distillery. Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley discusses the Single Oak Project on Buffalo Trace’s Whiskey Wednesday Episode #48 that aired in April of 2021. View the 6:20 minute mark for a quick hint on future releases of the Single Oak Project.
