Description
About Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Straight Rye Whiskey
Armed with distilling experience and a political pedigree, Taylor, together with Treasury Secretary John G. Carlisle, was instrumental in passing the Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 (27 C.F.R. 5.21).
The act required that any spirit labeled as “Bonded“or “Bottled-in-Bond” be the product of one distiller at one distillery during one distillation season.
In addition, the Act required that bonded spirits be aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof.
Named in honor of Taylor, Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of rye and malted barley.
No corn is used in the production of the rye, and, as a result, it has notes of dark spices that are well-balanced with caramel undertones. Bottled in bond at 100 proof, the rye has a dry and oaky finish, that lingers with notes of cinnamon and vanilla.
Each bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Straight Rye Whiskey is packaged behind a vintage label and inside a canister reminiscent of the bottles Taylor used over one hundred years ago.
Pick up a bottle of history and pay homage to the father of modern whiskey today!
