HISTORY OF PROHIBITION COLLECTION 3
Buffalo Trace Distillery Prohibition Collection 3 is a collection of whiskey brands that were bottled and sold during Prohibition.
From 1920 to 1933 the production, sale, and transportation of alcohol was banned in the United States due to the ratification of the 18th amendment, an era that is known as Prohibition. During this time, only six distilleries were granted a license to bottle medicinal whiskey. One of those distilleries was the George T. Stagg Distillery, which bottled many different brands of medicinal whiskey during Prohibition. Known today as Buffalo Trace Distillery, it is the longest continuously operating distillery in America, and the third-oldest continuously operating distillery in the world.
Each of the brands included in Prohibition Collection were bottled at, or in connection with, the George T. Stagg Distillery during Prohibition. Documents discovered in the Distillery’s archives reveal stories from over a century ago and inspired the whiskeys crafted in each Prohibition Collection release, all of which are inspired by the original, colorful packaging for these historic brands.
Prohibition Collection 3 honors five historic brands bottled under President Albert B. Blanton’s leadership at George T. Stagg Distillery, as Buffalo Trace was known during the Prohibition era, including: Henry Watterson, Kentucky River, John G. Carlisle, Walter B. Duffy and Cove Spring.
