Buffalo Trace plans adult summer camp for Bourbon fans
Camp Buffalo Trace will combine summer camp-inspired activities, Bourbon education and an overnight stay at the distillery in Kentucky.
Described as an ‘adult summer camp’, the experience is open to adults aged 21 years and above.
Camp Buffalo Trace will take place on 29 August and 5 September, with winners for each date drawn at random via an online sweepstakes.
Those who are interested can indicate their preference for two experiences: either just the day camp, or the day camp plus an overnight stay in luxury camping accommodation.
Ninety winners, who will receive a guest pass, will be randomly chosen for the day camp experience, with 10 winners, who will also receive a guest pass, to be randomly selected for the day camp and overnight stay.
Tyler Adams, general manager at Buffalo Trace Distillery, said: “At Buffalo Trace Distillery, we’re always looking for new ways to create memorable moments for our guests, and Camp Buffalo Trace offers an opportunity to celebrate the fun and connection that make summer so special.
“By bringing together interactive activities, Bourbon education and overnight camping accommodations, we’ve created a one-of-a-kind programme designed to help guests make lasting memories at the distillery. We look forward to welcoming guests to Camp Buffalo Trace.”
Experiences to be offered at the camp include a whiskey woodcraft workshop, where guests will craft a muddler from authentic barrel staves while learning about the importance of white oak in making Bourbon.
Further activities will include a bung-driving relay, a blind tasting, a Buffalo Trace trivia competition, and a single-barrel challenge, where guests will sample three barrels of the same Bourbon at different ages and try to identify each one.
To enter the sweepstakes, those interested should visit buffalotracedistillery.com/camp. The sweepstakes will begin on 14 July at 12pm ET and end on 21 July at 11.59am ET.
Earlier this month, Buffalo Trace, owned by Sazerac, unveiled its third set of whiskeys produced at its predecessor, George T Stagg Distillery, during Prohibition.
