Colonel EH Taylor Straight Rye 2012 For Sale
Delivered Worldwide
Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye was introduced as a new annual release by Buffalo Trace in 2012. It is reminiscent of a late-19th century rye whiskey or 'Monogahela' style which uses a high percentage of rye grain in the mashbill with either little or no corn. EH Taylor Rye is made with just rye and malted barley, so no corn.
Straight Rye Whiskey has experienced a strong resurgence in the American whiskey landscape, yet Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was making this style more than 100 years ago. This small batch, Bottled-in-Bond 100 proof straight rye whiskey pays tribute to the former Distillery owner with a unique rye whiskey reminiscent of days long past.
Tasting notes; dark spices, subtle caramel overtones and oaky dryness.
