Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye - 750ml

Named in honor of Taylor, Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye Whiskey is crafted from a meticulous mash of rye and malted barley, with no corn used in the recipe. This deliberate choice highlights the bold, spicy character of the rye while allowing the malt to contribute a subtle, creamy backbone. The result is a spirit that speaks with a confident, old-world voice, delivering notes of dark spices that are artfully balanced with caramel undertones. On the palate, it presents a clean, focused profile: dry yet smooth, with a nuanced sweetness that lingers long enough to invite the next sip. Bottled in bond at 100 proof, the rye carries a restrained strength that enhances its complexity, delivering a dry and oaky finish punctuated by hints of cinnamon and vanilla. The finish is persistent and refined, inviting contemplation of the craft that went into every batch.

Each bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Straight Rye Whiskey is presented with a heritage-inspired label that evokes the storied past of the distillery. It arrives encased in a companion canister reminiscent of the vessels Taylor used more than a century ago, a nod to tradition and provenance. The packaging reinforces the brand’s commitment to authenticity and quality, making this rye not only a distinguished spirit to sip neat or on the rocks but also a collectible reminder of a celebrated era in American whiskey. With its bold yet balanced character and time-honored presentation, this Straight Rye stands as a tribute to Colonel Taylor’s enduring legacy and to the craftsmanship of rye whiskey in its purest form.
