There’s also the opportunity to experience a special, exclusive whiskey sampling, highlighting some of the Distillery’s rarest and most coveted Weller Bourbon expressions.
Complimentary, private samplings for up to four guests will be available to a select number of fans at 12 Gold, a bespoke, invite-only Weller-themed lounge created especially for the experience.
The tastings will feature a variety of Weller expressions, including some of the first pours in Europe of the newly released, ultra-rare Weller Millennium.
Says Ed Bell, Homeplace Director, Buffalo Trace Distillery, “While everyone is welcome to visit Buffalo Trace Distillery in the United States, we want to make it easier for Paris residents and visitors to learn, explore, try, and fall in love with our whiskeys. We know there will be an increase in foot traffic to the city in July and August, and our prime location will give visitors an excuse to go beyond sporting and cultural events while in town.”
