Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Batch 11 is the 2022 edition of Buffalo Trace's most uncompromising E.H. Taylor release, bottled uncut and unfiltered at a formidable 129.0 proof. The line honors Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., born in Kentucky in 1830, who moved to Louisiana with his great uncle Zachary Taylor before returning to Kentucky and making his most indelible mark on history as a founding father of the modern bourbon industry. This whiskey is drawn directly from hand selected barrels of Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #1, the distillery's low rye bourbon recipe, and aged in the century old warehouses that Taylor himself built and oversaw. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away, reflecting the way whiskey was produced before chill filtration and proofing down became standard practice. Barrel Proof is released roughly once a year, typically in the fall, and each batch carries its own natural strength, which is why the label reads proof varies by batch, quality unyielding. Batch 11 pours a deep mahogany amber. The nose is rich and assertive, with dark caramel, seasoned oak, toasted nuts, dried cherry and pipe tobacco over warm baking spice. The palate is thick and full bodied, layering brown sugar, molasses, dark chocolate and vanilla with cinnamon, leather and a firm peppery bite from the high proof. The finish is exceptionally long and warming, closing on oak tannin, toffee and lingering spice. At this strength a few drops of water or a large ice cube open it beautifully, though seasoned palates will find plenty to explore neat. Presented in the collection's signature yellow label with the Colonel's signature and a kraft gift tube, Batch 11 is a highly allocated release that has grown harder to find since newer batches replaced it on shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64.50%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e129.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel Proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBatch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 (2022 release)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMashbill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (low rye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaturation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew charred oak in century old warehouses built by E.H.
