Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye
(0.7l, 50%)
The Lebron James of Straight Rye Whiskey.
In 1830, a baby called Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. was born and he became the father of modern Whiskey (when he grew up, naturally). Raised by the twelfth US President... We thought that was worth mentioning. He made top-notch Whiskeys and made sure the Bottled-in-Bond law was passed. So it's no wonder Buffalo Trace Distillery decided to name their fantastic limited expression after the dude.
Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of rye and malted barley, bottled in bond (a product of a single distiller) at 100 proof. Not only is this rare treasure a homage to booze history, it's really actually good! Dark spices, caramel undertones, cinnamon and vanilla hiding in the back... Look, you don't have to listen to us; Jim Murray himself gave this bottle an almost perfect score of 97 points and said it shouldn't be left on a shelf.

Ratings & Reviews
Joseph,
The best rye. Very smooth/great taste
Ray,
Citrus and a slight sweet flavor upfront give way to spice and wood on the backend. The spice leaves a little tingle in the lips while the citrus hangs on the tongue.
Paige,
The nose leads with mild ethanol but is quickly halted by vanilla wafers, butterscotch and stone dried fruits. Final notes of baking spices settle in as the aroma of blackberry scones dissipate.
An immediate explosion of delicate rye spice and apricots take control of the palate while toasted oak and burnt sugars settle on the mid palate. Sweet cake batter drizzled over dehydrated prunes fade on the backend before tapering into oak heavy, spicy and warming finish. A short burst of brown sugar tossed cherries and burnt orange peel arrive then quickly dissolve. The finish is long and intricate accompanied by a full mouthful. The palate is a little thinner than I hoped for but offers a flavorful complexity overall.
eliot,

Scott,
Extremely smooth with vanilla start and caramel and cinnamon finish.
