Buffalo Wild Wings recently announced that it will have the Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select Bourbon at its restaurants in sixteen states.

Starting May 2021 Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select Bourbon is officially available in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

“Buffalo Trace Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley personally selected each barrel from the Single Barrel Select series,” said David McPhillips, Director of Beverage Strategy & Innovation for Buffalo Wild Wings in a prepared statement. “This bourbon is perfect for fans to drink while watching the game. And it can be enjoyed on an ice block, neat or mixed into an Old Fashioned or one of our classic cocktails.”

The bourbon’s smoky flavors complement barbecue-style wings well. “The Single Barrel Select Bourbon includes notes of caramel, dark fruit, and a hint of black cherry, with an oaky, sweet flavor and a smooth finish.”

With the sports bar continually looking to expand its selection of quality spirits and craft beer, this bourbon also adds a unique twist to its list of classic cocktails.

“By including Single Barrel Select Bourbon in our beverage program, we’re holding ourselves to a high standard as a sports bar,” McPhillips said. “We’re showing guests that we’re trying to be a bit different and they can expect us to keep innovating across our menu.”

The bourbon will be available as long as supplies last in Buffalo Wild Wings sports bars in Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Nevada, and California.
