Blanton, who the company claims spent most of his life preserving the tradition of handcrafted bourbon. Blanton worked at the facility now known as the Buffalo Trace Distillery for approximately 55 years. He was born and raised on a farm just outside Frankfort, Kentucky, and he began working at the distillery (then called the O.F.C. Distillery) in 1897 as an office boy when he was 16 years old. Over the next few years he reportedly worked in every department, and in 1912 he was appointed superintendent of the distillery, its warehouse, and bottling shop – at the same time that the distillery was renamed to become the George T. Stagg Distillery. He became president of the whiskey plant in 1921.

The distillery, originally housed in the Historic Warren Coleman Mill on Main Street, moved into an abandoned State prison in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, over the Labor Day weekend in 2016 in order to expand production to include Bourbon. Southern Grace converted the 1929 prison dorm and the solitary confinement “Hot Box” into barrel houses where nationally awarded Conviction Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged. Named The Best Bourbon in America at the 2019 New Orleans Bourbon Festival, Conviction goes from grain to glass entirely on the Southern Grace property. The Cabarrus Correctional Center first opened its doors in 1929 as a minimum-security facility. Conviction Bourbon now ages in the original 1929 Dormitory. A second dorm was added in 1987, to alleviate overcrowding. This building is the main production facility for Southern Grace, housing Fermentation, Distillation, Bottling, and the Cask Finishing Room. The Mount Pleasant Prison housed inmates until the prison shut down in 2011. While the prison sat empty, it was used several times by the US Army Special Forces for Robin Sage exercises.","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42426632274058,"sku":"","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/ConvictionSingleBarrelBourbonWhiskey.png?v=1666094270"},{"product_id":"sortilege-maple-liqueur","title":"Sortilege Maple Liqueur","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLiqueur: Sortilege Maple\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn of a rigorous distillation and meticulous ageing process, our whisky develops complex flavours during its 1,100 days of maturing in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMany other small liquor store sites will end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.
