The Journey of the Barrel Continues in Mexico

2020-05-07

Bourbon Barrel Aged Añejo Tequila from Society Awards

In 2017, our CEO, David Moritz, traveled to the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Franklin County, Kentucky to purchase a very special barrel of Eagle Rare Bourbon. This was a rare opportunity, typically reserved for industry insiders with deep connections. That barrel was bottled as our 10 Year Anniversary Bourbon.

In the process we began developing a strong relationship with the outstanding people at Buffalo Trace. All this got us thinking — although the barrel had exhausted its time aging bourbon, it was still outstanding. The journey of our anniversary barrel was not over yet.
