TASTE NOTES(Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe)

This Rye Recipe Bourbon has a smooth, yet complex flavor.

Recipe for Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Bourbon is one of three Kosher whiskeys that will be released annually after Passover, a major Jewish festival, beginning in 2020. In addition to the Kosher Rye Recipe (my best guess is Mash #1, but I could be incorrect), there is also the Wheated Mash (used for Weller) and Straight Rye Whiskey (used for Sazerac).

If you’re unfamiliar with Passover, I recommend doing some research; it’s a fascinating holiday. I’m not Jewish, and I’m not a specialist in Judaism or Kosher law, so I’ll let Buffalo Trace explain what they did and why they label it Kosher. I can only judge it based on how it drinks, not on its appearance(Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe).

What I will say is that this is a 7-year-old, 47% ABV Buffalo Trace that falls somewhere between the normal Buffalo Trace and the EH Taylor Small Batch in terms of proof. In this Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon review, we’ll see if the Kosher classification, age statement, and higher ABV make for a superior bourbon(Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe).

As obvious as it may sound, Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe bourbon smells identical to regular Buffalo Trace. I’m confident in this because I conducted a Buffalo Trace(buffalo trace kosher bourbon rye recipe) comparison a few days before writing this review, so it’s still fresh in my mind. Sweet and fragrant honey, citrus, green grape, and vivid cherry, with traces of marshmallow and peach, are what I smell.

On the nose, it’s obviously fruity. In comparison to Buffalo Trace, there is more roasted oakiness and spice. The additional 2% ABV isn’t evident, but I’m not doing this side by side(Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe).

I detect a little more musty and smokey oak after whirling, along with the honey(buffalo trace kosher bourbon rye recipe), licorice, vanilla, cherry, green grape, cinnamon, and nutmeg I smelled before. This Kosher Rye Recipe has a pleasant and delicious cinnamon aroma that is mild but not overpowering.

Kosher Rye Recipe is similar to a tiny fruit salad topped with cinnamon in many respects. The proof appears to add some extra body, though I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s huge and bold, but this smells quite delicious(Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe).

Whisk(e)y is produced in over 20 countries, including Scotland, Japan, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Sweden, and India. There are a seemingly infinite amount(Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe) of different types of whiskies and bourbons all over the world, but they all have one thing in common: they are completely refined from a variety of grains, including grain, corn, rye, and wheat, and are generally matured in wooden vessels(buffalo trace kosher bourbon rye recipe).
