As the only Buffalo Trace standard release to utilize amaranth as a flavoring grain, its structural and chemical profile is unrepeatable. Since the distillery has confirmed there will be no future Amaranth releases, the 2019 bottling represents a closed-circuit vintage. Every bottle offered here is verified for original seal integrity and includes the signature yellow display tube. Provenance documentation is available to ensure total transparency for the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- 6.
