Fans of the legendary Buffalo Trace lineup may want to circle the next three Wednesdays on the calendar. Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced a special Whiskey Wednesdays event featuring complimentary pours of the hard-to-find E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain bourbon — and yes, bottles will also be available for purchase in the Distillery Gift Shop while supplies last.
The event will take place:
- Wednesday, May 13
- Wednesday, May 20
- Wednesday, May 27
Guests visiting the distillery can enjoy free samples of E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain all day long, making this one of the more unique tasting opportunities Buffalo Trace has offered recently.
For bourbon hunters, the bigger news may be the bottle availability. Limited quantities of Four Grain will be sold in the gift shop during the promotion, though Buffalo Trace noted supplies are limited and expected to go quickly.
Originally released as part of the Colonel E.H. Taylor lineup, Four Grain stands out because it uses all four traditional whiskey grains in its mashbill: corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. The result is a bourbon known for balancing sweetness, spice, and rich oak character in a way that differs from Buffalo Trace’s standard mashbill offerings.
The bottle has become increasingly difficult to find on shelves, often commanding premium secondary market prices whenever a release surfaces. That alone could make these Whiskey Wednesdays one of the more talked-about distillery events this month.
Visitors planning the trip should expect lines and early crowds, especially as word spreads across bourbon social media groups and hunting communities.
If you’re heading to Frankfort later this month, this may be one of the better chances to both sample and purchase a bottle of E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain directly from the source.
