When I toured the Buffalo Trace distillery several years ago, the guide whispered to me that despite the 10 or so Buffalo Trace brands, there are only two mash recipes: wheated and unwheated. In other words, Eagle Rare, standard BT, Elmer Lee, Blanton's et al. are all the same at one day old. Sampling by expert tasters determines how each barrel is labeled after spending time in the rickhouse. I also can't find Buffalo Trace products at local liquor stores. I guess shipping the product to New York or Japan at higher price points makes more economic sense.
