This uncut, unfiltered rye whiskey is the 13th release in the collection which is named after Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. who in 1869 purchased the O.F.C. Distillery, now known as Buffalo Trace. This is just the second rye whiskey offered in the collection with the first being a bottled in bond small batch straight rye whiskey. Like other releases in the collection, it's packaged in a yellow cannister with a vintage label. Offered at 126 proof (63% ABV), Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey is available beginning June 2024 in limited quantities. (SRP $77.99)

Nose: grainy, some caramel, herbal Palette: viscous buy very minty, like pepermint candy canes. Undertones of caramel, vanilla, that goldschlager cinnmon, finish lingers and has good tannins, cinnamon lingers. Compared to handy 2025 Nose: buttery, butterscotch, vanilla Palette: less cinnamon, more flavor, oaky, vanilla, tannins, much nicer.
A nice sweet rye. Gives me some taste similarities with willet rye. A little hot for my preferences though.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
