“Annual-limited four-grain BiB — corn+rye+wheat+barley, 10yr / 100 proof Taylor experiment”
Tasting notes
- nose
- inviting caramel and vanilla with clove and black pepper waiting underneath
- palate
- caramel corn and sweet vanilla over lightly smoky oak tannins — the four grains stay balanced rather than rye- or wheat-dominant
- finish
- smooth evenness between grain sweetness and charred oak
Mash bill
Full grain split not published.
Four-grain bourbon: corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — exact percentages undisclosed. Buffalo Trace frames it as the grain set E.H. Taylor would have had in the late 1800s. Corn for sweetness, rye for spice/structure, wheat for soft mid-palate, malted barley for toasted depth — a graduated experiment that combines rye and wheat mash philosophies in one mash.
