Buffalo Trace Distillery has partnered with blockchain platform BlockBar to launch the 'Pour it Forward for Kentucky' charity fundraiser, an online auction and sweepstakes initiative supporting storm relief efforts across the state. The event features an impressive collection of ultra-premium bourbons and exclusive experiences donated by Buffalo Trace and its partners, including the Van Winkle family, musician Chris Stapleton, and PGA.
Notable auction items range from rare bottles like Weller Millennium and Eagle Rare 25 to unique experiences such as a Sazerac Barrel Select opportunity and a behind-the-scenes visit to the set of a Yellowstone spinoff. The fundraiser also includes sweepstakes entries for chances to purchase highly allocated bourbons like O.F.C. Vintage 2006 or win PGA golf experiences.
All proceeds from Pour it Forward for Kentucky will benefit the American Red Cross Kentucky Region and the Franklin County Flood Relief Fund.
