Rare Buffalo Trace Bourbon Being Auctioned Until 7 PM Today By Acts 4 Ministry, Inc. As Fundraiser

WATERBURY, Conn. - Dec. 31, 2019 - PRLog -- Acts 4 Ministry, Inc., the non-denominational charity serving the Greater Waterbury region is auctioning a rare, highly-distinguished, historic Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from the distillery's sixth millionth barrel as a fundraiser for their non-profit organization. Bids can be placed until 7:00 PM on December 31^st.

In April 2018, Buffalo Trace Distillery, based in Frankfort, Kentucky, rolled its seven millionth barrel produced since Prohibition into Warehouse V, the only bonded single-barrel aging warehouse in the world. That indicated that the sixth millionth barrel that had been in Warehouse V since 2008 needed to be moved into another warehouse to mature for another year, and this bourbon has now aged a full 10 years 11 months.

The six millionth barrel of Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was filled into four hundred (400) 375ml bottles that are being made available exclusively to non-profit organizations across the United States free of charge to auction off to raise funds.

Not available in stores, each bottle, valued at $1,250, has a beautifully handwritten description on the glass. Each bottle is packaged in a numbered hardwood showcase box with a piece of the charred oak stave from the barrel and a brochure explaining the significance of this collector's edition.

Kris Comstock, Buffalo Trace Senior Marketing Director, commented, "We're thrilled to do something with the 400 bottles to help people in need. We decided on the 375ml size bottles to allow for more bottles to help more charities raise serious money. These bottles are beautiful, the package is first class, and the bourbon tastes amazing. Our goal is to raise $500,000 for charity."

In 2011 the Distillery offered its' Millennium Barrel of bourbon, put up to age on Dec. 31, 1999, which raised more than $150,000 for various U.S. charities. In 2016, its inaugural O.F.C. Bourbon Whiskey from 1980, 1982 and 1983 was identically released, and non-profits raised more than one million dollars.

The winning 2019 Acts 4 Ministry auction bidder will receive the bourbon directly, delivered in a protective box with a branded canvas bag.
