Sazerac has announced that the Single Barrel Select program will delay the announcement of barrel pick winners until May 1st, citing recent flooding at the distillery as the cause of the postponement.
Below is the press release sent out explaining the delay.
| “Hello, We are reaching out with a heavy heart to share that the State of Kentucky and the Frankfort area, where Buffalo Trace Distillery resides, experienced historic levels of rain, resulting in severe floods. Our thoughts continue to be with local community and all those impacted by this natural disaster. In light of these circumstances, we’ve made the decision to delay the release of the April Drawing results to allow our community time to focus on recovery and clean up efforts. We deeply appreciate everyone who has reached out with concerns and for the overwhelming support we’ve received. In the coming weeks we will share our drawing results, as well as relief initiatives we’re taking to support our community. Should you want to support relief efforts for the Frankfort community in the immediate, the Franklin County Flood Relief Fund has been set up by the city to collect donations and offer aid to those who need it most. Thank you again for your continued support. Buffalo Trace Distillery looks forward to welcoming visitors back soon.” Cheers, Diego Bianchi GM Sazerac Barrel Select |
