Colonel EH Taylor Warehouse C Tornado 2011 750mL

On Sunday evening, April 2, 2006, a severe storm with tornado strength winds tore through Central Kentucky, damaging two Buffalo Trace Distillery aging warehouses. One of the damaged warehouses was Warehouse C, a treasured warehouse on property, built by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. in 1881. It sustained significant damage to its roof and north brick wall, exposing a group of aging bourbon barrels to the elements. That summer, the exposed barrels waited patiently while the roof and walls were repaired, meanwhile being exposed to the Central Kentucky climate. When these barrels were tasted years later, it was discovered that the sun, wind, and elements they had experienced created a bourbon rich in flavors that was unmatched. This was truly a special batch of barrels, and though the Distillery does not hope for another tornado, it feels lucky to have been able to release this once in a lifetime product.

Colonel E. H. Taylor Warehouse C Tornado Surviving is a limited Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Buffalo Trace, released in 750ml format after the 2006 warehouse tornado became part of its story


From the Producer

Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, owned by the Sazerac Company, released Colonel E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Tornado as a 2011 bourbon drawn from barrels in Warehouse C that were exposed when an April 2006 tornado damaged the building's roof and walls (Wikipedia, 'Buffalo Trace Distillery'). The Taylor line itself commemorates Edmund H. Taylor Jr. (1830-1923), the Kentucky distiller who acquired the Old Fire Copper (O.F.C.) Distillery on the present Buffalo Trace site in 1870 (Wikipedia, 'Edmund H. Taylor Jr.'). This Tornado expression sits within that Taylor bottled-in-bond family as a single-issue bottling tied to a specific weather event.
