Buffalo Trace Kosher Straight Rye Whiskey 750mL

The Buffalo Trace Kosher Straight Rye Whiskey is a special edition crafted in partnership with the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc), highlighting Buffalo Trace Distillery's dedication to inclusivity and adherence to Kosher practices. This collaboration has resulted in a Straight Rye Whiskey that not only respects Kosher guidelines but also maintains the high standards of quality and flavor that Buffalo Trace is known for.

Distilled from the same premium grains as Buffalo Trace's renowned straight rye whiskeys, this Kosher spirit undergoes aging in barrels specially designated for this purpose. To ensure adherence to Kosher practices, particularly around Passover, these barrels are sold to a non-Jewish executive in a ceremony observed by a cRc representative, making the whiskey Kosher, although it is noted that it is not Kosher for Passover.

After a maturation period of seven years and bottled at 94 proof, this Straight Rye Whiskey is a testament to Buffalo Trace's meticulous production process. The distillery ensures that the bottling lines are thoroughly cleaned prior to bottling this special edition, eliminating any contact with non-Kosher spirits. Released annually after Passover, it embodies the bold and brash spirit associated with America’s oldest continually-operating distillery.

Tasting Notes: 

The Buffalo Trace Kosher Straight Rye Whiskey is characterized by its celebration of the rye spice, which is at the heart of its flavor profile. The whiskey is enhanced with subtle hints of citrus and clove, adding layers of complexity and warmth to the spicy base.
