Damn, Donny! That's a hell of a haul.
And here I was last night excited to even find "standard" Buffalo Trace at my local liquor store (I've never seen it before and I'm there far more often than I care to admit!) It's actually a store pick single barrel, so not quite standard, but for all intents and purposes the same thing.
