About This Whiskey
This is E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye from a 2022 bottling, a bonded Kentucky rye from Buffalo Trace made without any corn in the mash.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Raisin and dried apricot, cracked black pepper and a green, dill-like herbal note.
- Palate: Sweet and savoury in turn, with dark spice, rye bread and a light layer of caramel.
- Finish: Dry and oaky, holding for a good while before fading to clove.
Serving & Food
Pair with pastrami on rye, Sichuan peppercorn beef or a salty blue cheese.
Good to Know
Why no corn? The mash is just rye and malted barley, so it's drier and spicier than most Kentucky ryes.
Is it good in cocktails? Yes. It's a bonded rye with real backbone for a Manhattan.
