The Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon Whiskey represents a unique collaboration between Buffalo Trace Distillery and the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc), culminating in a spirit that adheres to Kosher guidelines while embodying the rich tradition of American whiskey-making. This partnership underscores Buffalo Trace's commitment to quality and inclusivity, ensuring that more individuals can enjoy their distinguished bourbon.
Crafted with the same high-quality grains used in Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey, this Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon undergoes a meticulous production process. Aged for seven years in barrels specifically designated as Kosher, the bourbon develops its character within the bounds of Kosher certification. Notably, to maintain its Kosher status through Passover, the barrels are sold to a non-Jewish executive in a special ceremony observed by a representative from the cRc, though the bourbon itself is not considered Kosher for Passover.
Bottled at 94 proof, this Rye Recipe Bourbon is a testament to Buffalo Trace's dedication to ensuring purity and adherence to Kosher practices, including the cleaning of bottling lines prior to bottling to prevent any contact with non-Kosher spirits. Released annually after Passover, it is a bold and independent expression of Buffalo Trace's storied craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes:
The Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon is celebrated for its smooth yet complex profile. This balance is achieved through careful aging and the selection of high-quality grains, resulting in a bourbon that offers depth without sacrificing smoothness.
