Buffalo Trace Distillery Oral History Project Launch

The Nunn Center is proud to unveil the Buffalo Trace Oral History Project, a joint effort of the Nunn Center and the Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is the first project in our Bourbon in Kentucky collection. The project consists of video interviews featuring two Buffalo Trace master distillers and many longtime employees,  as well as descendants of Kentucky distilling icons like Pappy Van Winkle, Col. E.H. Taylor (Old Taylor) and Col. Albert Blanton (Blanton’s).

Watching the interviews gives you a unique opportunity to learn about the history of Buffalo Trace and the bourbon industry from the people who lived it. Check out the Buffalo Trace Oral History Project website and find full transcripts and searchable video interviews on the Kentuckiana Digital Library .
