O.F.C. Vintage 2006 is the most recent fill of the three held here and the only one whose release year is documented: it reached the public in 2025, roughly nineteen years after the barrels were filled, at 90 proof (45% ABV). One bottle was offered through Buffalo Trace's Pour it Forward for Kentucky fundraiser in May 2025, run with BlockBar to raise money for storm and flood relief across the state. The presentation is the series standard — hand-cut crystal, copper lettering, wooden case, provenance card.

Each release represents a single distillation year, matured in traditional Kentucky oak and preserved within collector-grade archive crystal.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Distillery Tasting Notes
I

Sensory Profile

Nose: Cherry cordial and caramel with oak just touched by smoke.
Palate: Dark chocolate and tobacco leaf against dates, sweeter in the middle than the older fills.
Finish: Leather, black pepper and a warm cinnamon close.

II

Strategic Position

Nineteen years is a long time for Kentucky bourbon and a short time for this series, which has released fills from as far back as 1980. That places the 2006 at the young end of a very old line — the fill still close enough to the modern distillery to taste like something a drinker might recognise, rather than a curiosity from a different era of production. It also carries the clearest recent history of the three: a documented 2025 release and a documented charity outing. the 2004 fill, two years earlier is the fill two years earlier, the distillery's annual collection runs the annual releases, and the bourbon selection at Midnight Whiskey holds the rest.

Production Methodology

Everything about the series points back at copper. Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. named his 1870 distillery Old Fashioned Copper for the stills, piping and fermenters he installed to make cleaner spirit, and the bottles carry copper lettering and a copper plaque in tribute. The whiskey inside is a single year's fill held in the distillery's warehouses until it was judged ready — in this case, from 2006 to a 2025 release. The bottle is a hand-cut crystal replica of an O.F.C. decanter recovered from the distillery archives, and the provenance card inside the case ties the liquid to the year on the plaque.
