Buffalo Trace Releasing Rare E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Bourbon

Buffalo Trace distillery is releasing a scarce, as soon as-in-a-life time bourbon following thirty day period: a ten-yr modest batch designed fully in barrels taken from its popular Warehouse C created in the 1880s. Colonel E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Bourbon is ten a long time old, and will be unveiled bottled in bond at one hundred evidence. For fans of the model, this is a welcome surprise—and a different wonderful tip of the hat to a bourbon legend.

 

 

Buffalo Trace’s legacy is sewn together by a good deal of threads that originated with Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., the namesake of a person Buffalo Trace model. Taylor created O.F.C. Distillery, which would afterwards be acquired by George T. Stagg and at some point Sazerac—at which point it grew to become the Buffalo Trace distillery. He was also a major proponent and activist for the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, which is rightfully credited as a person of American whiskey’s most critical historic milestones.

Why E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Bourbon Is So Special

Taylor is a lot less popular for having created the popular Warehouse C in 1885, but that historic developing has viewed some critical motion more than the a long time. The most sizeable celebration, in our feeling, was a twister that harmed the developing in April of 2006, knocking down some segments of wall and stripping off about 50 percent of the ceiling.

The barrels that were being within the warehouse aged almost six months in the uncovered construction, attaining added flavor from the warmth of the immediate summertime sun. Buffalo Trace designed a modest batch employing just people barrels, which grew to become E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Twister Surviving Bourbon. A bottle of that whiskey is so in desire right now that it runs in the 1000’s (we have tasted it it’s worth the value).

This whiskey is the following chapter in that saga. The whiskey in Warehouse C Bourbon is ten a long time old, and most of it will come from the much-sought-following centre of the warehouse (centre barrels are likely to drink the ideal concerning seven and ten a long time of age) on flooring two and 5.

According to the distillery, floor two “is an superb growing old floor for older barrels. The ricks are limited, making it slow and difficult to set in new barrels. The floor is really dry, making it best for ten- to 15-yr-old products and solutions. The fifth floor of Warehouse C is a effectively-rounded growing old floor with windows all the way around, furnishing superb air flow all over the floor. There’s sufficient sunlight by way of these windows, which assists warmth up the warehouse and the growing old system.”

“We know Col. Taylor experienced a good deal of pleasure and passion for Warehouse C, as evidenced by his awareness to detail, specially on the exterior with the architectural attributes,” states learn distiller Harlen Wheatley. “Fortunately, it’s a actually great growing old warehouse for bourbon also, so not only does the warehouse search great, it provides some of our ideal whiskies. This year’s launch of the Warehouse C bourbon is no exception.”

Tasting notes from the distillery mention a “wonderful flavor mix, with a nose of cherry cobbler with rum sauce and a hint of oak a palate of cherry cola, vanilla bean and toasted oak and a complete that is very long and lingering with a hint of spearmint, coffee, raisin bread and anise.”

This is a a person-time bottling, which implies that even if we do get a next a person, it’ll probable be a decade right before we see it again. Our guess is that this is intended to very clear out some house for other projects, which implies this may possibly be a person of the past Warehouse C bourbons for some time.

For retail functions, this whiskey is established to be priced at $70, and sold in a unique commemorative box. Everything that will come out of this warehouse is a piece of history—this is just a person you may well want to drink.
