Sensory Tasting Notes
The Nose
Vibrant rye spice up front, reminiscent of fresh rye bread, with dark roast coffee, toasted oak, and light baking spice.
The Palate
Oily and full-bodied, carrying black pepper, dried fruit, and a rounder sweetness than typical high-rye whiskeys; the absence of corn drives a more spice-forward, less sweet profile than most bottled-in-bond ryes.
The Finish
Medium-to-long, closing on lingering rye spice with a distinct mint note that emerges as the finish fades.
The Heritage
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. was distilling straight rye whiskey in this style more than a century before the category’s recent resurgence, and this expression pays tribute to that history using a no-corn mash bill that reviewers note as genuinely unique among Buffalo Trace’s rye products. Because Buffalo Trace doesn’t disclose the exact ratio, enthusiasts have spent years estimating the recipe from tasting alone, treating it as one of the more debated mash bills in the company’s portfolio despite the bottle’s consistent year-round availability.
