For those who may not be familiar, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. was a true pioneer in the bourbon industry. Known as the ‘Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry,’ he purchased O.F.C. Distillery (now Buffalo Trace Distillery) in 1869 and revolutionized the way whiskey was made. His innovative spirit and commitment to quality have left a lasting legacy, and it’s an honor to see his name attached to such an exceptional whiskey.
The new Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey is bottled at 126 proof, making it a true powerhouse of flavor. And with a suggested retail price of $77.99, it’s an investment worth making for any serious whiskey collector.
‘Colonel Taylor’s impact on the bourbon industry is immeasurable and, more than 130 years after the construction of his famous and innovative Warehouse C, Buffalo Trace Distillery remains committed to producing exceptional whiskey with the finest quality ingredients,’ said Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director at Buffalo Trace Distillery.
I couldn’t agree more. This whiskey is a testament to the enduring legacy of Colonel Taylor, and a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are worth waiting for.
