In 1870, E.H. Taylor Jr. christened his new distillery O.F.C., which stands for Old Fashioned Copper. By investing in the finest copper stills, copper piping and copper fermenters he ensured the purity of his spirits, and in this vein we present O.F.C. Vintages. Each vintage is hand bottled in a crystal decanter with inlaid copper lettering in a fine, wooden display box.
The first release consisted of just 200 bottles: 100 bottles from 1980, 50 bottles from 1982, and 50 bottles from 1983. These were made available to only non-profit organizations, at no charge, to raise money for their causes. Subsequent vintages have been released from the years 1985, 1989 and 1990 and most recently, 1993 and 1994. Each one is rare and collectable.
As you enjoy one of our O.F.C. Vintages, think back to what you were doing the year it was made to realize how long this bourbon aged in its barrel for a one-of-a-kind flavor experience.
O.F.C. Vintage 1993 was released in December of 2018 with just 822 bottles. The year was 1993, and while “The X-Files” debuted on national television and “Jurassic Park” broke box office records, Buffalo Trace Distillery quietly distilled and then laid away some of its bourbon to slumber, undisturbed, for 25 years. What were you doing in 1993?
O.F.C. Vintage 1993, a 25-year-old bourbon, has a nose of dark cherry, honey, and smoked oak. On the palate, notes of caramel, toasted vanilla, and cocoa are found. For the finish, coffee, maple syrup and oak linger.
