There's a lot of history and 'lore' behind bourbon so discuss both here.

"Fine Bourbon" plaque

On a small building at Buffalo Trace is Pappy Van Winkle's "But Always Fine Bourbon" plaque. Is this the original, or a reproduction?

This is the original. Julian talked Diagio into letting him have the bronze and then let Buffalo Trace hang it on the W L Weller Bottling house.

Glad I could help. I just hope Julian and family always keep that piece as part of their family treasures!

This was such great news to hear. I heard that Julian had gotten the plaque. I look forward to seeing it sometime. What a nice piece of history for Julian to bring "home."
