This capsule of five whiskeys pays homage to Mirror Brook, Very Oldest Procurable (V.O.P.), Anderson’s Belle, Old Fashioned Mountain Corn, and Silver Wedding Rye Whiskey. These were all initially produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery — which was then known as [George T. Stagg Distillery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prohibition-collections) — during the Prohibition era from 1920 to 1933. The [limited-edition Prohibition Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitedproduction-bourbon) by Buffalo Trace Distillery will definitely be of interest to whiskey connoisseurs and history buffs. The company sweetens the deal by revealing stories about the original whiskeys from over a century ago through its archives. These documents also served to inspire the contemporary versions, adding a sense of authenticity.
