The journey of this bourbon is remarkable: it was distilled in the spring and fall of 1989 and stored for the first 13 years in Shively (at Stitzel-Weller) in a metal clad warehouse. In 2002, the barrels were moved to Buffalo Trace and kept on the lower floors of their brick warehouses.
After 25 years of total aging—in 2014—the barrels were dumped into stainless steel holding tanks to stop the barrel aging process. The whiskey was finally bottled in 2017 after spending three years in tanks.
Did You Know? Original MSRP was $1,800 in 2017.

Extended Bidding
What is Extended Bidding and how does it work?
10 minutes before our auctions close you will notice that Extended Bidding kicks in.
During this period, every time a lot receives a bid, the bid timer for that lot resets to 10 mins. Each lot develops its own end time, and everyone has enough time to get their bids in.
