Buffalo Trace Distillery has stood the test of time, surviving everything from Prohibition to natural disasters. Most recently, a weather-related mudslide on the northeast side of the property sent a Conex cargo container and a temporary office building into the river. Fortunately, no one was injured, and the distillery remains fully operational.
In honor of Buffalo Trace’s resilience, we’re giving the classic Mudslide cocktail a Kentucky twist—replacing vodka with Buffalo Trace Bourbon for a richer, more flavorful experience.
