Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. had uncompromising standards for high-quality whiskey that set the stage for the modern-day whiskey boom. The barrels selected for this limited edition barrel-proof rye release were selected in his honor & with a similar standard so only whiskey deemed of “Topmost Class” was bottled uncut and unfiltered to allow for this full-bodied expression of E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey. The Barrel Proof Rye release is a testament to its namesake and the measures he took to ensure that all of his whiskeys were of unmatched quality.
