ONE OF ONLY 50 BOTTLES IN THE O.F.C. 1982 VINTAGE COLLECTION!

Rare. Collectible. Vintage.
Celebrate bourbon from a bygone era, with O.F.C. (Old Fashioned Copper) vintage-dated whiskies. Sourced from the barrels of yesteryear, each hand-cut crystal bottle of whiskey commemorates the year it was put into a barrel to age. As the first release of its kind, this limited collection includes only 200 bottles that cannot be bought in stores, featuring whiskey from 1980, 1982 and 1983.

Honoring a Legend
Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. christened the O.F.C. Distillery in 1870 and this legendary whiskey brand has been revered ever since. The most stateof-the-art distillery of its era featured copper fermentation vats, column stills, and a first-of-its-kind steam heating system, still used in O.F.C.'s aging warehouses today. This very rare and collectible bourbon honors the O.F.C. Distillery, a National Historic Landmark known today as Buffalo Trace Distillery.

THESE COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE-DATED BOTTLES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY RARE,
VALUED AT $10,000 EACH.

Each Bottle Tells a Story
Memorialize a year in history and add this priceless vintage-dated whiskey to your collection.

The year is 1982. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” is the biggest album seller of all time. Steven Spielberg’s “E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial” hits the box office and the film “Gandhi” is named Best Picture by the 55th Annual Academy Awards. Sony launches the world’s first CD player. The Computer is named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. Italy wins the 1982 World Cup and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI.

Superb Packaging & Elegant Presentation
The packaging for O.F.C. matches the splendor of the whiskey itself, in lead free crystal bottles with detailed fluting engraved into the mold. Glass artisans cut the shoulder facets using equipment created exclusively for Buffalo Trace Distillery. Each bottle then is manually polished to achieve maximum glass brilliance before in-laying cut copper lettering to spell out “O.F.C.” on the front. A paper label is then hand applied below with the vintage prominently noted, along with a label on the back of the bottle noting the milestones for the vintage year of the bottle.

This bottle is a replica of an O.F.C. decanter dating back to the early 1900s found in the Buffalo Trace Distillery archives. Equally as impressive as the bottle is the display box in which the bourbon is presented. The dark wooden box prominently bears the O.F.C. name in copper, along with a copper plaque depicting the year the bourbon was distilled. Upon opening the revolving door on the wooden case, the bottle is proudly displayed on a small riser, commanding attention as its prized possession is revealed. A provenance card is inside each display box, containing the same information found on the back label. Finally, each box is then packaged in a tasteful cream colored bag to protect it from any damage before placing it into the shipping boxes.
