Pics from Buffalo Trace 2003

[Paradox]

I'm reposting some pictures from the Buffalo Trace tour held this year after the accidental deletion of the thread. Anyone else who had pics up repost em' if youd like,

You've always got to watch this guy...

Warehouse 'H'

Mmmmm, Bourbon!

Smallest Bonded Warehouse containing the last barrel to be filled at the end of the 20th century.

The barrel inside...

And finally the bottling line. They were dipping Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel this year. The woman there told me that Makers Mark got on their butts and now they have to be careful the wax does not have any drips in it. They now dip it so it forms a perfect circle around the raised circle near the top of the bottle below the neck. If there is any excess they have to cut if off from now on...

Mark,

So, errr...what happened to my link to the video? My photos? We were talking about the whiskey thief, and I promised the Greg and the guys a clip of it at work...

Bourbon Recipes video clips

Sort of bums me, this is the only thread I've ever started that actually went anywhere... I've forgotten what I posted...

I have posted my pictures on Snapfish. CLICK HERE if you would like to see them. Unfortunately if you are not already a snapfish user they will require you to answer a couple questions and agree to their Terms of Use. If you don't mind doing that, enjoy!

I'm not too sure Brenda... Jeff says it was deleted during a system function. Not too sure what was going on, but sorry nonetheless. Maybe Jim can find the data when he returns if it wasn't blasted permanently.

Jeff,

Really great shots.

Since I didn't make it to Four Roses, I really liked those.

Thanks,

Bj

Thanks Brenda. I wish I had remembered to take my camera more places with me. I hope you and others will post some pics of Friday night.

I remember in 2001 when we had the SB tasting at BT, they had just done the new design for the Elmer T. Lee bottle and the topic of wax came up and it was thought that as long as it's not dripping RED wax they were OK (or something like that)... I guess in response makers mark started dipping their bottles in every color and combination imaginable... I guess soon someone will try to trademark the cork... Or maybe the screwtop...

Here's a photo of a barrel being "dumped". Hope it comes thru OK.

I'm sorry that picture can thru SO BIG. I've gotta get used to scanning and transfering pix, because I did get some nice shots. I'd like to show this one again, just a wee bit smaller.
