  • Barrel Warehouse H, where Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon is aged.
  • A flowering Paulownia tree between warehouses C and H.
  • Magnolia in bloom outside a first floor window of Warehouse C.
  • Barrel warehouse C. This warehouse is masonry, incorporating both local limestone and brick.
  • Grain silo
  • Buffalo Trace's 'micro still'. Used for small experimental batch runs.
  • Fermenter tank. Oils from the corn rise to the surface. Notice the CO2 exhaust duct in the back.
  • Our tour guide shows us the column still and spirit safes. Distilled spirit passes through one of these vessels after each of the two distillations.
  • Each spirit safe at the distillery has a buffalo on top. Also notice the buffalo head 'tap' on the side.
  • Dried distiller’s grain. After the fermented mash (or distiller’s beer) is distilled, the remaining solid grains and liquid are sold to farmers as high quality cattle feed. Some distilleries sell to local farmers who fill up tanker trucks with the liquid product. It can also be dried as shown here for easier transport. This grain is highly nutritious aromatic and often shows up in local baking recipes.
