The best bourbon whiskey in the world? Buffalo Trace Distillery Tour

- So stoked everyone loves Buffalo Trace (and the vid) and yes, I did mispronounce Blanton's, and yes, I did it on purpose (see below).
Lot's have been asking how they can do this tour - this was a specially designed tour by Chris Hallahan at Sazerac specifically for Marriott Hotels. While their standard tour is also amazing, they go above and beyond creating bespoke experiences for groups and corporations.
Buffalo Trace Distillery located in the heart of Kentucky can easily claim title to best bourbon whiskey distillery in the world. This is the birthplace of bourbon with a rich and colorful history that will captivate anyone. I got the unique experience to travel with Marriott Hotels for a very special tour of their century old distillery, where we got to bottle our own aged barrels, sample some of their most rare offerings, and get an inside look at one of the world's best distilling plants.
If you're wondering where "Blaytons" came from ... well, it's a lil trick to get people commenting on the film, which helps it get seen for the algorithm. So thank you everyone that corrected me and made this film a success.
Now have a nice glass of bourbon and enjoy your day.

Yes, I said "Blayton's". Yes, I did it on purpose. Yes, I would like you to comment. (Thanks for watching!)
OMG ... I was gonna say something ... does this work?
Well played Sir, well played.
Ah the old Blayton's for Blanton's trick. I see!
Consider yourself "commented".
“on purpose”. allegedly
I thought it was Blantons, not Blatons.
Dan it probably is ... problem making vids about distilleries is that you are most likely drunk while making them so ... accuracy diminishes a bit... ;)
It’s definitely BlaNtons… your explanation of the Distillery and your special tour was excellent! But please, next time… Colonel Blanton would probably appreciate you pronouncing his name correctly. He’s kind of a deal 😊 Cheers! 🥃🦬
@@meganc6883 Thanks Megan, noted!
You are correct. It is Blanton's.
He pronounced a lot of things incorrectly.
That looks like a fantastic day, thank you for sharing
hey thanks!
As a Buffalo Trace warehouse man, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this. it truly stands out from videos I've seen in the past.
Dude thanks ... that's quite a compliment.
Which tour is this? As I would like to book something like this for the wife and I over a regular tour. Great video
I don't know if I would have made it through that tour without passing out. If I ever try it, I now know how much I'll have to pace myself after watching this video, thanks!
I took several naps in bushes through the day. Lots of great bushes on the property. A ton.
I can't wait to book my tour. Thank you for sharing.
you will LOVE it no doubt.
I’m impressed that you toured a distillery and managed to not cover the distillation process
meh ... heat. mash. drip. meh.
Pappy 15 is hands down the easiest to sample of those INSANE pours!! 95 OFC and last drops are unicorn in every way. And then to consistently mispronounce Blanton’s after allegedly taking the tour is mind blowing. Regardless, I’m just a jealous dude on the internet haha. Honestly though, thank you for sharing! Buffalo Trace is such a huge part of American History.
Bro, glad you liked it, but gonna have to stop ya right there chief, it's actually pronounced "Fappie" ... the "P" is is a soft "F" sound (He was Dutch, Van Winkle, and "P" isn't pronounced the same in Dutch ... also its "Van Vinkle" if we're being honest). Lotta entry level people don't know that it's cool.
I couldn’t disagree more. Pappy is only a 300 dollar bottle msrp it’s not that rare. I’d definitely like to try the other that nobody’s ever herd of.
@@TravelClast He's saying you mispronounced Blantons and not Pappy...
Actually it's pronounce "th"ravelclast ... the "T" is soft. @@Mcrichalot12
Looks awesome!!!
Taste good too;)
Excellent video! Looks like a great place to spend an afternoon!
Thanks Tom! Indeed it is!
Thanks for sharing.
my pleasure!
What a day! And I loved seeing the JW Marco Island placard. That is one of our most favorite vacation destinations. Now I'm going to have to book a visit to try their private bottle.
Epic indeed ... word is we're doing another round this year!
That's the VIP tour - thanks for sharing...can't wait to go back. Cheers!
certainly was ... cant imagine a more VIP experience.
How does one get on this tour?
It’s BlaNtons.. Pretty hard to mess up lol
You're right. Not if you have a learning disability though. So I'm trying. Thanks for watching.
I got to visit BT with the owner and coworkers of a bottle shop I worked in Indy, which was closed on Sundays then. We drove down, took tours, and then had a private tasting where we selected 2 barrels to be bottled just for our store, Kahn's Fine Wines. It was a great day, and the owner paid for everything.
That's a nice owner!
@@TravelClast In hindsight, he really wasn't bad. Part of the job was 'mandatory' tastings. 🙂
@@cshubsmusta been painful ;)
@@TravelClast I got to taste a lot of expensive stuff, including Johnny Walker Blue and old Sauternes (which is arguably the greatest thing I ever tasted).
@@cshubsSauternes .... I had to look that one up looks amazing
For such a fantastic, information filled video (let alone your "favorite brand"), how do you frequently say "Blatons" instead of Blantons + "Well Air" instead of Weller?
It's actually quite simple.
My favorite IS Buffalo Trace no comparison.
we can be friends;)
How the heck do you produce such a professional video and claim itsone of your favorite brands and call one of the most recognizable brands Blay-ton's instead of Blan-ton's? How did that get through editing?
I did it on purpose Jim (I know you cant tell but I'm pronouncing your name Jhyme as in "time" with a "j" ... that is how you pronounce it correct?)
@TravelClast thx Travelcast, it's pronounced Gym.
Like "time" with a J? Sorry ... I obviously am a complete idiot and should end my life.@@jimhamilton331
@@TravelClastlmaoo wow man. Kinda sounds like you just might. These Blanton’s corrections are really getting to you. But that is 100 percent your fault. I mean..you were at the goddam distillery lol I don’t care that much but it is pretty odd and definitely on you..own it
was I? Or am I AI? @@Phattypimp83
Does anyone happen to know the name of the bung puller drill attachment @ 2:01??
Wow this looks amazing you must be fairly pickled by the end lol!
juuuuuuust sobering up now;)
Do they still offer this tour. I can't find a VIP tour.
This was a hand crafted tour which they do if you are part of the industry.
How were you able to book this type of tour? Did you just book through their website if so what’s the tour called?
This was a special tour designed for Marriott ... If you contact their offices they are happy to design tours around your particular goals. They are amazing.
@@TravelClast just to clarify, I should reach out to the Marriott offices or the buffalo trace offices?
@@Ivanhu123 Buffalo Trace;)
@@TravelClast Thank you!
Blayton's?
No no ... it's pronounced "Blayton's".
BlaNtons @@TravelClast
Ive heard the spirits lost during aging is called the Angels share. If I become a Angel I know where I would spend my time.
I would like to share that time with you angel;) Yeah it's the portion that evaporates during the aging process (as far as I've been told by a distiller at Rogue in Oregon) ... it's kind of a beautiful metaphor ... plus, it's the name of my absolute favorite (hidden) bar in NYC shhhhh.
@@TravelClast mum is the word. Sounds heavenly
@@Glenn-F-Rice good man;)
How much does this tour cost? I want to do this.
You have to unfortunately be part of the industry.
He said Blanton’s three different ways and none of them were correct 😂
Sorry, I speak 4 languages, and truly none of them perfect, but thanks for making the internet a shittier place;) Definitely don't watch any of my other films, you should see what I do with "Ibiza" ... WOOF! Good luck with the Force podcast bro. Stay strong!
@@TravelClast i was just joking with you homie! Ease up!
I’m exceedingly jealous of your experience. Lighten up a little bit
@@JediTalk Thanks for the perspective man, I do appreciate it ... na just imagine you spend days making something for your youtube fam to watch for free and the only thing they do is shit on it. But I appreciate you letting me know to lighten up. lighten... up ... light sabers OHHHHH SHIT I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!! Jedi magic brother! Much love!
@@TravelClast didn’t mean to give impression homie, truthfully. It was a great video, and I enjoyed it!
@@JediTalk Thanks brother! Means a lot of you to say. Appreciated.
What's the name of this tour? Assuming private?
yup, set up with Chris at BT - but they're amazing and if you're interested I'm sure they can build one around your company or group's needs and wants.
How much does a tour like that cost?
It's custom ... you'd have to call BT and ask for Chris Hallahan.
Maybe he voiced this over after drink in all that bourbon and didn’t realize he mispronounced Blantons! 😂😂😂
That's rediculous sir ... I was very drunk well before I got to the voice over ... I mean who can edit sober?
“Benjamin Blaton…Blaton’s…Blaton…Blaton’s”
Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton…Blanton’s
I don't understand what you're trying to say?
It is a good bourbon but it is hard to get and over priced in the north east so I buy other bourbons that just as good and always available.
Fair enough ... to each their own, but the history and care that goes into it always makes it a smoother drink in my opinion
Please tell me a better distillery. Top to bottom.
@@jasondement3802 EXACTLY... Ive been to many ... but this is an institution
It’s not overpriced at MSRP. Unfortunately the prices are usually jacked up on BT products 2-10 times actual retail.
What is the name of this tour and I can I join?
It was a private hand crafted tour set up by the industry unfortunately.
Must. Do. This. TOUR
Ohh my God was this an awesome day you had!
@@jasonchampagne6825 INDEED. let me tip you off to something if you are unaware ... there are these "hangover patches" called "Cheel" you can get them on amazon ... you put them on before you drink ... I'm a very science minded human and dont go in for the mumbo jumbo but lemme tell you ... works, and, needed for this type of deep dive experience;)
@@TravelClast I find that pre-hydration works well, especially when that includes some electrolytes! Served me quite well in my younger days as a native prowling the French Quarter and Uptown New Orleans.
@@jasonchampagne6825 water seems to always be the key!
How much did that cost and can anyone do it
It was a private group, they do similar tours, and they also can setup special tours like this, but you would have to arrange it directly with BT. #worthit
How do I take this tour?
Email or go on buffalo trace's website, they'll get you sorted!
Did you eat Buffalo at the meal?
unfortunately no ... just bourbon;)
How does a person get this treatment?
Be part of the industry.
TheTravelcast is no dummy. He is practicing his AI skills with videos! And he IS pretty good at AI. BUT he IS pissing everybody off because of the Blanton's pronunciation. Thats funny to read in the comments.
The Travelclast was created in the basement of the IT department of a Wendy's in Chattanooga. He appreciates your comment. Remember all words are made up. As is consciousness. Take both pills. Merry Merry.
Blaytons?! Your favorite bourbon? You've never been there.
I know this whole thing is AI. suckka!
so why is BT so hard to find ???????
scarcity.
What was this tour called?
This particular tour was custom as we were a large group, they can pretty much design one to match what you are interested in, or, they have daily set ones that focus on different aspects of the distillery ... if you like this one then you can email them with this film and they'll be able to point you in the right direction! www.buffalotracedistillery.com/visit-us.html
So, is it pronounced Blanton's or as the narrator pronounces it, Blayton's???? There is an "n" in Blanton's you know?
It is ... I wanted people to loose their sht so I mispronounced it ... comments are fire.
“The infamous building P” 2:20. “Infamous” describes something known to be evil or disgraceful. Is that your intended meaning?
no but I don't think anyone ever intends to invoke trolls.
Funny how you don’t get to taste their top shelf
Last Drop not good enough for ya? ;)
@@TravelClast the ones you tried are good, but they have top shelf
@@Chevyguy93 Well then ... I mean The Last Drop is $4,000.00 USD a bottle to start ... I was unaware they even made shelves that high... what are you thinking of? Would love to know.
@@TravelClast Goethe T Stag, Willet
@@Chevyguy93 I googled that ... didnt find anything ... you got a link?
BlaNtons! BlaNtons! BlaNtons! Sheesh
Bro ... have a drink ... chill out. Jesus.
No George T Stag sad
Blaytons lol
BLAYYYYTONS
If your going to do a video about bourbon please learn the actual names
Hey Tyler, sorry.
Oh no… BLAYtons….
oh yes;) you should hear how I say "water" and "park the car" hahahaha
-Bourbon: a type of whiskey that can only be made in specific places of USA with a specific recipe.
-Americans: BeSt BoUrBon In ThE WoRld... Dude... It cant be made anywhere else than in the USA... Of course is the best in the "world"
Legally, bourbon has to be made in America. This comes from the 1964 Senate Concurrent Resolution 19, which formally declared that bourbon was “a distinctive product of the United States.
It must be a 51% corn mash.
It must be aged in new Barrels.
It must be aged at least two years.
THESE ARE THE LAWS.
Yeah but there are other bourbons ... wait ... are you gonna comment on how the World Series is silly?
BT is ok juice. I refuse to give into all the overhyped overpriced bourbon. Not the best bourbon by any means.
No but the distillery is legendary...
That explains the $2k price tag on a bottle of Pappy. Or your wrong.
@@robellison01 I am ALWAYS wrong. (Always)
Best bourbon in the world??? Ha ha. It's not the best bourbon in Kentucky. Overhyped, overrated, overpriced nonsense.
Oh yeah? what's your tops?
@@TravelClast Well, obviously, anything involving taste is subjective, so to suggest anything is the "best in the world" is foolhardy. But I've had numerous BT products and none of those were worthy of the hype surrounding them or the inflated prices at which you almost always see them. For every product in their line below Stagg Jr, there are MANY offerings from other distillers that are easily as good or better and are not inflated and overhyped. I can't speak to the VW line or BTAC products as I've not had any of them. But just look at the basic Buffalo Trace. 15 years ago it was considered a bottom shelf mixer and readily available for about $15 anywhere. But then PVW was in Deadwood, and Blanton's with it's fancy bottle was in John Wick, and BOOM...an artificial hype-train left the station. A store within walking distance of me has basic BT for 45 DOLLARS for a 750. Utterly absurd. Now, I typically enjoy my bourbon at a minimum of 100 proof. So the EHT Small Batch Bottled in Bond would be the only BT product I have bought in that range. Was it good? Sure, wasn't bad. But not worth the inflated price I paid. I tasted it next to Wild Turkey 101 and there was no significant taste difference. As for my tops? I can only speak to what I've had/bought. Booker's, Elijah Craig Barrel Proofs, and Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof are all on the list. Stagg Jr (or just Stagg now I guess) might be up there as the one time I had it for a reasonable price for a pour in a bar I thought it was great. But I've also never seen it for less than $150 for a bottle and that's about three times retail and just silly. Look, I" don't begrudge BT for the success they've enjoyed. Hell, I've come to love those who succumb to the hype. They spend all their time and money hunting those products, leaving a ton of GREAT and correctly priced bourbon there on the shelf for the rest of us. But again, best in the world? Nah.
@@TravelClast Fireball, probably
Went to the comment section to get a laugh out of everyone roasting this guy for mispronouncing things, but found him being a complete garbage human….i hope during this last year you have found a sense of humor.
Humor is for the weak. Also I mispronounced it on porpoise or did you miss that comet?
@@TravelClast 🤣🤣
All this and you dont even know how to say BLANTONS LMAO
I know I'm an idiot ... definitely didn't do that on purpose so a thousand people could comment on it and help the stats ... must me a complete moron, right?
@@TravelClast nice try
@@LemThurdy420success;)
Hate to break it to you, but bourbon is only American.
Hate to break it to you friend, but you can make bourbon anywhere as long as it is 51% corn mash, aged in new charred oak barrels, distilled at max 160, barrelled at max 125, and bottled at min 80 proof. But you can make it on the moon and still call it bourbon. Just not Kentucky bourbon. #drinkintheknowledge
anything buffalo trace is the absolute worst and overhyped and overrated and over priced....you couldn't pay me enough to take any of their products
Cool Robert Bass - you obviously know what you are talking about. Love your videos!
what videos?@@TravelClast
