The
latest
in
the
Colonel
E.
H.
Taylor,
Jr.
Bourbon
Collection
from
Buffalo
Trace
Distillery
is
an
extraordinary
barrel
proof,
uncut,
unfiltered
rye
recipe
bourbon.
Weighing
in
at
a
hefty
134.5
proof,
this
small
batch
bourbon
was
aged
for
seven
years
on
the
sixth
floor
of
Buffalo
Trace’s
Warehouse
C,
built
by
Colonel
Taylor
in
1881.
When
your
experience
this
uncut
and
unfiltered
Bourbon,
“an
aroma
of
cooked,
berries
meets
the
nose,
followed
by
a
rich
caramel
and
slightly
floral
smell.
The
taste
is
bold
–
full
of
spice
that
fills
the
mouth
with
a
distinct
flavor
of
toasty
vanilla,
dried
oak
and
pepper.
The
finish
is
long
and
satisfying
with
a
powerful
rye
character
and
lingering
hints
of
fruit.”
The
Barrel
Proof
Bourbon
is
the
fourth
in
the
line
of
the
E.
H.
Taylor,
Jr.
collection
of
whiskeys
to
be
released
over
the
next
few
years.
It
joins
the
Old
Fashioned
Sour
Mash
Bourbon,
Single
Barrel
Bourbon
and
Warehouse
C
Tornado
Surviving
Bourbon
released
within
the
past
year.
Taylor
is
widely
considered
one
of
the
founding
fathers
of
the
bourbon
industry,
fighting
for
the
Bottled-‐in-‐Bond
Act
of
1897,
nearly
three
decades
after
he
purchased
the
distillery
that
is
known
today
as
the
Buffalo
Trace
Distillery.
During
his
time,
Taylor
implemented
several
innovative
methods
still
used
today
by
Buffalo
Trace,
such
as
climate
controlled
aging
warehouses.
In
addition
to
his
bourbon
interests,
Taylor
had
political
ties.
He
was
the
great-‐nephew
of
President
Zachary
Taylor
and
elected
the
mayor
of
Frankfort,
state
representative
to
the
Kentucky
General
Assembly
and
a
member
of
the
State
Senate
