Buffalo Trace Is Going to Start Selling Its Rare Whiskeys on Sazerac’s New Online Shop

fans know how hard some of most allocated bourbons are to get, and how expensive these bottles are if you do find them. We’re talking about names like , , William Larue Weller, and the . However, these bottles are going to be slightly easier to get your hands on starting tomorrow, because the distillery’s parent company, Sazarac, just announced the launch of a new online e-commerce platform called Legacy de Forge.

Given that this is a partnership with BlockBar, there is, of course, a blockchain element to this new endeavor. These days, that concept often causes people’s eyes to glaze over, but the gist is as follows: You can buy bottles from the Legacy de Forge website using a credit card, wire transfer, or Ethereum, and each purchase comes with a digital token to verify its authenticity. If you’re looking to flip a bottle, that means that BlockBar can store it in its secure physical facility, and the new buyer will also have reassurance that what they are buying is legitimate.

But let’s skip to the juicy part. The website had a soft opening that started on May 28, featuring some extremely rare bottles from the Last Drop—including the from Distillery that we favorably reviewed recently. Other Last Drop expressions that are currently available to bid on are the 32 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey and 22 Year Old Mizunara Cask Blended Japanese Whisky. There is also a bottle of Sazerac de Forge Grande Champagne Cognac Vintage 200, Mister Sam Canadian whisky, and the new Garavogue 20 Year Old Single Malt from Sazerac’s recently acquired Hawk’s Rock distillery in Ireland. There will be more to come in the future, and presumably that will include some of most collectible Kentucky bourbons and rye whiskeys, like the aforementioned Pappy and Stagg, as well as , , and Blanton’s.

Sales will be divided up into three sections on the website: The most rare spirits will be available via auction that you will be notified of when you sign up for the newsletter; the less exclusive but still collectible bottles will be available to purchase outright during a certain window; and the more widely available bottles will be for sale at any time (while supplies last). And to celebrate the launch of Legacy de Forge, there will be an online auction starting tomorrow where you can purchase a single barrel of Blanton’s Gold that includes a VIP tour and one-night stay at Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Stagg Lodge. Bidding opens tomorrow, June 6, at 10 a.m. and lasts until June 20 at 10 a.m. (EST). You can visit the now to find out more.
