Taylor, Jr. — Buffalo Trace’s tribute to the American rye whiskey tradition in the Bottled-in-Bond format that Colonel Taylor himself championed through the 1897 act — a Kentucky straight rye whiskey bottled at exactly 100 proof meeting all federal bonded warehouse requirements.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRye whiskey is America’s original whiskey style — predating bourbon by decades, common in the mid-Atlantic and Appalachian states before corn-based bourbon established its dominance in the 19th century. E.H. Taylor Jr. was a bourbon man at heart, but his advocacy for the Bottled-in-Bond Act was fundamentally about whiskey quality standards regardless of grain type, and the E.H. Taylor Straight Rye honors his legacy by applying those standards to the category he helped elevate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, Bottled-in-Bond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/rye\"\u003erye whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes this a Bottled-in-Bond expression?\u003c\/strong\u003e Under the 1897 Act that E.H.
