New Partnership With Buffalo Trace On First-Ever Private Purchase Of An E.H. Taylor Barrel New Partnership With Buffalo Trace On First-Ever Private Purchase Of An E.H. Taylor Barrel This past year, Society Awards was able to select a private barrel of E.H. Taylor, one of Buffalo Trace’s most sought after whiskeys. And why is that important? This is said to be the first “private purchase” of an E.H. Taylor barrel. This is not, however, the first project of this kind for Society Awards and Buffalo Trace. What is Society Awards you ask? It’s the designer and manufacturer of luxury, custom and limited-edition awards. You know, little statues. But not just any. Some of the most famous, prestigious and televised awards in the country, such as NATAS Emmy, Academy of Country Music, Billboard, MTV, YouTube Creator Awards, NAACP, NBC’s The Voice, American Music Awards, BET, CFDA, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, the Recording Academy, and many others.
