For the bank holiday weekend in the UK, Buffalo Trace Distillery invited people to a London phone booth pop-up to mark the opening of Buffalo Trace Distillery London. Inspired by the iconic style of the phone booth, the brand asked Londoners, "Will you answer the call to become untamed?”
Visitors of London’s Covent Garden found a phone booth, painted in Buffalo Trace green, that rang at random. If a passerby picked up the phone, they got an invite to the new Buffalo Trace Distillery London to sample some of the renowned bourbons produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in the USA. Participants who took the brand up on its offer were invited to sample rare and exclusive whiskeys like OFC Vintages, Weller 12 Year Old and Eagle Rare 25 Year Old.
