Buffalo Trace Distillery Debuts 100 Bourbon Sets for 100 Charities

— March 11, 2025 — Marketing
Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the return of its annual bourbon charitable initiative. Dubbed the '100 Bourbon Sets for 100 Charities,' this effort aims to support nonprofit organizations across the United States by donating 100 sets of Buffalo Trace Distillery's premium whiskeys for fundraising efforts.

The 100 Bourbon Sets for 100 Charities program honors the legacy of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr., a pivotal figure in the bourbon industry and a former owner of Buffalo Trace Distillery, whose contributions led to the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act. The charitable bourbon initiative celebrates the 100-proof standard required by the Act. Each set includes sought-after brands such as E.H. Taylor Jr., Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, and Weller, with the number of bottles varying per set.

Nonprofits can apply to be part of the 100 Bourbon Sets for 100 Charities program from March 3 to June 11, 2025, with selected organizations announced in late July and sets delivered within 30 days.
