January 2017 Auction

Buffalo Trace 1980 O.F.C.

Three unique bourbons dating back to 1980, 1982 and 1983 were released by Buffalo Trace Distillery late last year and offered exclusively to non-profit organisations in order for them to raise money for their causes.

We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to auction a bottle of the 1980 vintage, one of only 100.

Presented within a beautifully decorative crystal bottle with copper lettering and finely crafted dark wood display case with revolving door, this stunning whiskey has been named in honour of the distillery’s original name, Old Fashioned Copper or O.F.C.

We hope to see this fly in our January Auction and make a healthy sum for a very worthy cause.
