Yes another US whiskey named after someone I haven’t heard of. In this case a little research reveals that Col. Taylor owned the distillery in Versailles where its claimed Dr Crow invented the sour mash process and later became Woodford Reserve. The nose on this rye is impressive, for some reason inspired me to write the tasting note… “indian food and cucumbers”. I think we can assume it came across as very fresh and spicy? The taste is rich, more spice and familiar chocolate notes, toasted oak, pepper and something sweet but a little mysterious. Marshmallow? Caramel? The finish is drying with rye bread, chocolate and mint. This is really good rye whiskey.
