Smoke ‘Em if You Got ‘Em: Tips on How to Add Smoke to Cocktails

Buffalo Trace has a habit of turning its own history into whiskey, and the third edition of its Prohibition Collection is possibly the most extreme example yet.

This year's annual limited release is five bottles reviving whiskeys the distillery legally produced during Prohibition, back when it was known as the George T. Stagg Distillery.

Back in 1976, America was celebrating its bicentennial. For those unaware, that was the United States of America’s 200th birthday. Well, while we all enjoy the glow of sparklers and thunderous explosions of fireworks every July 4th, we haven’t really had anything exciting to celebrate since the mid-70s. That changes this year because 2026 is the US’s semiquincentennial (also known as its 250th birthday). So, you know we’re going to go all this year. The folks at Buzzard’s Roost are here to help with the revelry. Well known as an independent distiller, blender, and bottler of double oak whiskeys, the brand recently announced a special expression to celebrate this momentous holiday.
