FRANKFORT, Franklin County, Ky (July 18, 2018) – Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey were awarded Gold Medals at the 2018 International Spirits Challenge. Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was awarded a Silver Medal.

The Tasting Awards were held over 10 days of intense blind tastings by panels of more than 50 respected and experienced industry professionals.  Samples were delivered to the judging area in flights of numbered tasting glasses to ensure the accuracy of the blind tasting.  Each judge assessed the products according to age, region and variety, which is determined by the entrant and verified by the chairman.

This year, the 23nd annual International Spirits Challenge received more than 1,600 entries from nearly 70 countries around the globe.

“We are honored to accept three awards at this year’s International Spirits Challenge, says Harlen Wheatley, master distiller at Buffalo Trace Distillery, “It was truly a team effort.”
