Buffalo Trace Distillery is going back to basics for its new release of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye Whiskey. The “uncut and unfiltered” rye is the 13th release in the Colonel Taylor Collection.
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was one of the true icons and innovators of the early days of the modern whiskey industry. Taylor bought O.F.C Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky (which later became Buffalo Trace Distillery) in 1869.
“Colonel Taylor’s impact on the bourbon industry is immeasurable and, more than 130 years after the construction of his famous and innovative Warehouse C, Buffalo Trace Distillery remains committed to producing exceptional whiskey with the finest quality ingredients,” said Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director at Buffalo Trace Distillery. “Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey is an exceptional uncut, unfiltered expression that pays homage to the E.H. Taylor’s pioneering vision.”
“Spirits enthusiasts know that there is no experience quite like tasting a whiskey in its truest, untouched form - straight from the barrel. Barrel Proof Rye takes the beloved recipe of Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey to a new level and brings a new release that perfectly complements the E.H. Taylor, Jr. Collection.”
ABV: 63%
Tasting notes (from the distillery): “On the nose it has an aroma of white pepper and nutty undertones, with a touch of fresh floral and candied apricot. A sip brings a range of complex flavors, balancing the sweet, dried stone fruit with pepper and oaky dryness. The lasting finish is full and sweet as honey, concluding an exceptional experience.”
