Buffalo Trace Kosher High Rye
Overall:
In partnership with the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc), Buffalo Trace Distillery produced this Rye Recipe Bourbon Whiskey. Made with the same high quality grains as Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey, this Kosher spirit was aged in specifically designated Kosher barrels. In order to satisfy Passover requirements, these barrels were sold to a non-Jewish executive in a ceremony witness by a representative from the cRc. After aging for seven years, this Rye Recipe Bourbon was bottled at 94 proof after ensuring the bottling lines were cleaned beforehand and that no contact was made by non-Kosher spirits. Released after Passover each year, this Rye Recipe Bourbon is bold and independent, celebrating its heritage from America’s oldest continually-operating distillery.
Nose:
Vanilla and honey sweetness with citrus, cherry, apple, licorice, and a moderate dose of roasted oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Body:
Sweet with floral honey, vanilla buttercream, peach, citrus, licorice, smoked oak, cinnamon, and a little toasted grain, all with a light underlying note of black pepper from the oak.
Finish:
The finish is floral, sweet, and lightly oaky. There are some tannins mingled with the honey, citrus, and licorice, but it’s very gentle.
