*** Elmer T. Lee introduced the world’s first single-barrel bourbon, Blanton’s, and was born on August 5th. The odds indicate Blanton’s as the favorite for Thursday but we would not be surprised if Blanton’s is actually released on Friday in honor of his birthday.
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.
