Colonel EH Taylor Warehouse C Tornado Surviving
Buffalo Trace
Tasting Notes
This isn't just any bourbon; it's a survivor with an incredible story. Back in 2006, a powerful tornado tore through Buffalo Trace, damaging Colonel E.H. Taylor's historic Warehouse C. Barrels inside were unexpectedly exposed to the Kentucky sun, wind, and elements for months. What was thought to be ruined liquid astonishingly matured into something truly extraordinary. On the nose, it's an intricate blend of dried fig, sweet sour cherry, and warm baking spices, layered with notes of roasted nuts and rich butter. The palate offers jam-like fruits, smooth vanilla, and a hint of smoke, balanced by aged leather and a touch of medicinal spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving you with dark spices and hints of tobacco. This rare bourbon is a unique testament to nature's surprising hand in crafting an unmatched flavor profile.
