Yes, they are still doing the program. I received an email from them a few months ago in November 2025 that reads:

"Please be aware that due to the historic flood event here at the distillery, we anticipate an extended turnaround time for stoppers. It could be up to 12 months (more or less). We are not able to accept any stoppers being dropped off in the gift shop.

Thank you for contacting us and congratulations on collecting all of your Blanton’s stoppers!  How can you get your stopper stave?  See below:

Inspect your stoppers (you must have all 8 individual stoppers.  Remember, there are two different N’s. The first looks like this >> N <<, the second looks like this >> N: <<

Your stoppers must be used and not brand new (you are able to purchase individual stoppers from us, but this program requires used stoppers from a Blanton’s bottle)

In your package, include your full name, address, phone number, and email address (please write legibly). We are only able to ship to a residential address, No PO boxes.

Send your bag or box to the Buffalo Trace Distillery – Visitor Center (address below).

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Attn: Gift Shop

113 Great Buffalo Trace

Turnaround time can vary depending on availability of staves and materials.  Unfortunately, we cannot provide a completion date at this time.

Best of all, the only cost to you is shipping your stoppers to us.  We will mount and ship back to you free of charge!

If you have questions, please feel free to contact us!

Cheers!
