The early floral yet biscuit flavour reflects the grain whiskey, while the soft spicy notes can be attributed to the pot still whiskey in the blend. The citrus flavour is complemented by the malt. Finally notice the nutty or even marzipan note combined with distinctive vanilla in the finish – imparted by the sherry and bourbon casks used in maturation.
The Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye is a no age statement, bottled-in-bond rye whiskey from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. The whiskey was first launched in 2012 and is named after Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., a staunch supporter of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. A bottled-in-bond whiskey is one that has been distilled just once at one distillery in one season. Bottled-in-bond whiskeys also have to be aged for at least four years. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was passed to guarantee customers of the authenticity of the whiskey they were purchasing. History Colonel

"The secret behind the award-winning taste of Whyte & Mackay is our triple maturation process and the way we blend to make sure no single whisky dominates another, creating a harmony of flavours that work together to produce our famous smoother, richer taste. The story begins with choosing the finest aged single malts and aged grain whiskies from two of Scotland's most famous distilling regions, Highland and Speyside. Then we carefully age the malt whisky whilst separately aging the grain whisky. Most blended whiskies stop at this stage but Whyte and Mackay add an additional step. The final chapter of the maturation story sees the marrying of these two different whiskies in sherry casks. This triple maturation process produces a whisky rich in colour with golden highlights, round and full on the nose with smooth, rich flavours of honey and fruits." Whyte and Mackay can trace its roots back to 1844 in Glasgow.
