2025年4月,严重洪灾破坏了水牛追踪蒸馏厂,使生产停顿了一个月,并造成3 000多万美元的损失。 In April 2025, severe floods damaged Buffalo Trace Distillery, halting production for a month and causing over $30 million in losses.

2025年4月,来自肯塔基河的创纪录的洪水严重损坏了Frankfort的水牛痕量蒸馏厂,淹没了200英亩的园区,中断了约一个月的波旁威士忌生产,造成超过3 000万美元的损失。 In April 2025, record floods from the Kentucky River severely damaged Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, submerging its 200-acre campus and halting bourbon production for about a month, causing over $30 million in damage. 尽管洪水生产区、仓库和库存被摧毁,但蒸馏厂在5月下旬恢复了正常运转,继续生产水牛、鹰雷和帕皮·范温克尔等旗舰品牌。 Despite flooding production areas, warehouses, and destroying inventory, the distillery resumed normal operations by late May, continuing to produce flagship brands like Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Pappy Van Winkle. 洪水是该设施历史上最严重的洪灾之一,在12亿美元扩充后,其容量翻了一番。 The flood, one of the worst in the facility’s history, occurred just after a $1.2 billion expansion doubled its capacity. 自禁酒以来,蒸馏厂已装满了900万桶,推出了新的威士忌,并开始翻新。 The distillery has since filled its 9 millionth barrel since Prohibition, launched new whiskeys, and begun renovations. 虽然美国范围更广的威士忌工业面临销售和出口下降,但Fuffalo Trace这样的大生产商更有能力恢复。 While the broader U.S. whiskey industry faces declining sales and exports, larger producers like Buffalo Trace are better positioned to recover.
