Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. // Kentucky, USA
What started as a limited run whiskey with an old fashioned sour mash has turned into a year-round, multi-bottling very popular line. While Taylor no longer utilizes the old fashioned sour mash, it's still a damn fine and solid product.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"Nose is full of fresh cracked pepper, chili powder, chocolate, and barrel spices. As you taste, you get cinnamon, rye spice, and dark fruits, all backed with a Mary Jane candy sweetness. The finish is long, dark, and complex with spice and pit fruits coming back. If you have a little bit of expendable cash and see this in the store for under $85, then grab yourself a bottle."
