2012 Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey First Release 750ml

Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye First Release is a 100 proof (50% ABV) limited allocation representing the 2012 debut of this expression from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Adhering to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this rye was distilled in a single season and matured in the distillery’s iconic brick-and-limestone warehouses.

The mash bill is a technical standout, consisting solely of rye and malted barley, which produces a profile defined by an extreme concentration of dried fruit, black pepper, and fresh dill. The palate features sophisticated layers of toasted oak and dark chocolate, balanced by a bright, savory finish of cinnamon and mint. This 750ml allocated spirit, presented in the brand’s signature canister, is a primary acquisition for elite collectors tracking the technical origin of the E.H. Taylor rye vertical.
