Clase Azul Reposado 25th Anniversary Blend Tequila 1.0L LITER
Producer Description
This creation symbolizes our journey: how far we’ve come these past 25 years as well as the brilliant future that awaits us. It is also a way for us to thank all the people who have been part of this journey: the talented artisans, all those who are part of the Clase Azul family, and, of course, everyone who has brought a small piece of our Exquisite Mexico into their homes.
To celebrate our legacy, we’ve created our first decanter completely painted in our distinctive cobalt blue color. Inspired by dandelion seeds being carried by the wind, its feathered motifs embody Clase Azul México's expansion across the world. Twenty-five of the brushstrokes that grace the surface of the decanter have been hand painted in platinum; one for each year of our history.
The tequila created for this edition pays homage to our signature Clase Azul Tequila Reposado. Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, reimagined its creation to give it a special touch.
Part of the agave used to make this blend was milled using a traditional stone mill called a tahona, a practice that dates back to the origins of tequila.
In addition, the fermentation process was extended to accentuate the liquid’s citrus and fruity notes. This blend was aged for eight months in two different first-use American whiskey casks, each one imparting its own distinct and rich tasting notes.

Cline Chardonnay Seven Ranchlands Sonoma County 2024 750ml
Cline Family Cellars · 'Seven Ranchlands' Chardonnay · Sonoma County · 2024
The Cline family has farmed the Sonoma Coast for decades, and their 'Seven Ranchlands' Chardonnay draws from two of their most prized sites — Catapult Ranch and Tolay Vista — situated in the Petaluma Gap, the cool corridor where Pacific air funnels east through the Sonoma mountain range and slows ripening to a crawl. The result is a Chardonnay with the kind of natural acidity and layered flavor development that most California whites have to work hard to achieve. 2024 was a warm, consistent vintage with a late heat spike that allowed grapes to reach perfect ripeness without sacrificing freshness — and at $14.99 with JS:92 and WE:91, this is one of the best-value Chardonnays in Sonoma.
Handpicked before dawn, each parcel is vinified separately: destemmed, lightly crushed, and pressed to extract richness, then racked after 24 hours to retain solids. Half ferments in stainless steel (inoculated), half in barrel with native yeast. Both go through 100% malolactic fermentation and age 8 months in French oak before blending. On the nose: ripe stone fruit, toasted brioche, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate: creamy and full-bodied with bright acidity, flavors of peach, lemon curd, and toasted oak, finishing long and clean.
“Rich and creamy with excellent balance — a benchmark for Sonoma Chardonnay at this price.”
— James Suckling, 92 Points | Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points (Vintage 2024).

Cline Rock Carved Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2023 750ml
Cline Rock Carved Cabernet Sauvignon — Alexander Valley 2023
In prehistoric times, a rampaging Russian River carved the Alexander Valley — leaving behind sedimentary rock that defines the vineyard soils to this day, while the towering surrounding hills trap summer heat like an oven. It is this dramatic geological history that gives Rock Carved its name and its character. The wine is sourced from the Rio Lago Vineyard, owned and managed by the Horowitz family since 1990 — a site at the western foothills of the Mayacamas Mountain range that experiences one of the wettest microclimates within the Alexander Valley AVA. Planted in diverse clay-loam and silty-loam soils, the vineyard is cooled each evening by marine air moving in along the Russian River from the Pacific Ocean. The combination of daytime heat to ripen the grapes and cool evening air to preserve freshness and acidity is the key to producing ultra-premium quality Cabernet Sauvignon here.
Grapes are hand-harvested at night, sorted, and gently destemmed. Fermentation is carried out by native yeasts, warming to temperatures peaking at 100°F, with the wine left on skins for 24 days. After gentle pressing, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and ages for 14 months in 50% new French oak. The result is full-bodied, multilayered, and genuinely complex: blackberry, black plum, and black currant, with cedar, leather, and mocha, balanced acidity, smooth rich tannins, and a long, powerful finish. James Suckling awarded it 91 points; Wine Enthusiast 90 points.

Clos Cibonne Cotes de Provence Tradition Rose 2024 750ml
Clos Cibonne Cuvée Tradition — Côtes de Provence Rosé 2024
Clos Cibonne’s Cuvée Tradition is unlike any other rosé in the world. One of only 18 Crus Classés of Côtes de Provence, this legendary estate sits at Le Pradet in the foothills of the Maures mountains, overlooking Toulon’s harbor. The proximity of the Mediterranean brings cool ocean air through the summer; the east-west ventilation from the mountains ensures perfect vine health. The result is a terroir of rare distinction — and a rosé that has captivated serious French wine collectors for decades.
Made exclusively from estate-grown, organic Tibouren — the rare indigenous grape that defines Clos Cibonne — with a touch of Grenache to meet appellation blending guidelines. After an early morning manual harvest, grapes are destemmed and direct-pressed. The must ferments with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel, then the wine is racked into 120+ year-old foudres where it ages biologically for one full year sous-voile, under a thin veil of fleurette. The result is a rosé of extraordinary texture, substance, and complexity — salmon-orange in color, enchanting and warm on the nose with smooth spicy aromas, and winy, mellow, and surprisingly mineral on the palate.
“Rich and full… texturally very pure and integrated, with a beguiling mix of sea salt–coated pink grapefruit, rose petal and tangerine notes. Notes of chamomile tea and a green herbal thread add complexity through the succulent, penetrating finish.” — Wine Spectator, 91 Points (Prior 2023 vintage)

Clos des Fous Grillos Cantores Cabernet Sauvignon Alto Cachapoal 2021 750ml
Expert Review — Vintage 2021
Vinous 90 Points | The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Grillos Cantores hails from Requínoa in the Cachapoal Andes region. After a year in concrete vats, this bright purple wine unfolds currant and sweet briar notes along with a faintly balsamic layer. Dry, polished and light, this easygoing red offers fine-grained tannins with a lasting fruity/herbal finish — an unexpectedly light Cabernet from Cachapoal.
About Clos des Fous
Clos des Fous ("Enclosure of the Madmen") was founded in 2008 by four friends — including world-renowned terroir expert Pedro Parra — who were tired of hearing that Chilean wine was boring and industrial. They set out to make exciting wines from extreme terroirs with minimal intervention. Pedro holds a Ph.D. in terroir science and consults globally with vignerons like Jean-Marc Roulot.
The name "Grillos Cantores" means "Singing Crickets," a nod to the sound that fills this specific vineyard in Alto Cachapoal at the foot of the Andes.
Tasting & Pairings
Dark fruits (blackberry, plum), currant, sweet briar, and a faintly balsamic layer. Dry, polished, and surprisingly light-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a herbal finish. Serve at cellar temperature.
- Grilled lamb with rosemary — herbal notes in the wine mirror the seasoning.
- Steak with chimichurri — the wine's acidity stands up to vinegar and herbs.
- Aged cheddar — tannins cut through the fat in hard, salty cheeses.
Clos des Lunes Lune d'Argent Bordeaux Blanc 2023 750ml
Clos des Lunes Lune d’Argent — Bordeaux Blanc 2023
Clos des Lunes is one of Bordeaux’s most compelling white wine stories — an estate in the heart of the Sauternes appellation that has dedicated itself entirely to producing world-class dry white wine from legendary sweet wine terroir. Lune d’Argent (“Silver Moon”) is the estate’s flagship cuvée, blending the density and richness of Sémillon with the refinement and precision of Sauvignon Blanc, aged with a touch of French oak to add complexity without obscuring the magic of the terroir.
The 2023 vintage was harvested in multiple passes from August 28 through September 21, allowing optimal ripeness across the blend. The result is a vibrant, medium-bodied white with vivid acidity, a chalky mineral finish, and outstanding depth — floral, orchard fruit, honeyed grapefruit, golden apple, and a lovely umami complexity from the Sémillon. Four critics, four outstanding scores.

Clos Mont-Blanc Conca de Barbera Xipella Negre 2021 750ml
Our Professional Review
Oscar Garcia Moncada | Senior Wine Buyer | Xipella” refers to a local Catalan dialect spoken in the Conca de Barberà area. This blend of Samsó (Carignan) and Cabernet Sauvignon is packed with dark fruit — think blackberries, black cherries, and black plum — supported by vibrant acidity and a beautifully persistent finish. An ideal companion for poultry stews, hanger steak, or grilled tuna.
Winemaker Description
Winemaking and aging | The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 25 and 28 °C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in new and used barrels for 12 to 16 months.
Tasting note | Red wine of intense colour. Powerful ripe fruit aroma, notes of mineral and oak barrel. In the mouth, it presents friendly and tempting, with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.
Type of vine | Vines located in the area of the cellar, at an altitude of 470 meters.
Memo Summary Notes
Samso, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Clos Mont-Blanc Xipella Negre 2021 is a sophisticated red blend from the Conca de Barberà region in Catalonia, Spain. Known for its balance of indigenous and international varieties, this vintage offers a modern expression of a historic wine-growing area.
The Conca de Barberà DO is unique for its limestone soils and high-altitude vineyards (around 470 meters for this specific wine). This elevation provides a thermal contrast between day and night, which helps preserve the acidity and freshness of the grapes, preventing the wine from feeling overly heavy despite its ripeness.
Clos Puy Arnaud Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2022 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Jane Anson 95 Points | Tasted at the Palmères de Castillon event, where I was a jury member, and this was one of the wines picked out blind. I checked it against a different bottle at home later, and suggest that it is given at least half an hour in a carafe, as it remains fairly closed, but once again this is proof of the quality of 2022, and it's a seriously impressive wine that offers wonderful value. I'm always a fan of Clos Puy Arnaud, and you get the deft precision of the winemaking here, coupled with ripe blueberry and raspberry fruits, liquorice, black tea, pomegranate and slate-scrape tannins.
Vinous 94 Points | The 2022 Clos Puy Arnaud is a dense, extroverted wine. Inky dark fruit, licorice, menthol and cloves are all amplified. Usually Clos Puy Arnaud is more refined, but in 2022, the vintage dominates and speaks loudly. Even so, this is a compelling offering. I look forward to tasting it with bottle age.
The Wine Spectator 93 Points | Sleek and polished, with alluring notes of blackberry puree and warmed cassis that glide through, while fine-grained tannins, a buried chalky spine and a gilding of sweet tobacco add range and length. Shows a mouthwatering floral echo at the end.
Memo Summary Notes
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2022 Clos Puy Arnaud is a standout release from the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, largely considered one of the best "value" wines of this highly acclaimed vintage. Produced by Thierry Valette (whose family famously once owned Château Pavie), this estate is a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture on Bordeaux's Right Bank.
The 2022 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by extreme heat, but Clos Puy Arnaud’s limestone plateau location helped maintain remarkable freshness.
Clos Rougeard Saumur Champigny Rouge Le Bourg 2018 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018
Benujamin Lewin, MW of Decanter writes 95 Points | Great sense of fruit purity on the nose, showing a mélange of black fruits. This shows brilliance on the palate, it’s very flavourful, with almost savoury undertones lingering on a very long finish. A sensation of gunflint shows retronasally. This is a rare combination: the height of elegance combined with depth. Drinking Window: 2032-2052.
La Revue du Vin de France writes 94 Points | As for Le Bourg, it remains faithful to the generously toasted and hedonistic expression of its barrel ageing. A concentrated material, a sensation of sweetness and power accompany the salient tannic framework that the years will soften.
Winemaker Description
Clos Rougeard was created in 1664 on the land of Chacé, a village not far from Saumur. Eight generations have succeeded one another at the head of the estate, the most recent being the Foucault brothers. From the 1980s onwards, Charly and Nady adopted a singular philosophy to enhance the terroirs of Saumur and Saumur-Champigny: leave the wine in peace so it can expresses its own identity. No synthetic products are added to the vines, gentle vinifications are thought out like infusions and minimalist approach is claimed. In 2017, the Bouygues family bought the estate and has continued the work begun by their emblematic predecessors with a deep respect for the DNA of the winery and its identity. Today the estate has found its balance thanks to a passionate team who strives to preserve the excellence and uniqueness of the wines whose depth, finesse and precision are unparalleled.
Located in the heart of the village of Chacé, Le Bourg is composed of very old vines and lies on a predominantly limestone terroir on shallow clay loam, typical of the Saumur-Champigny appellation. This wine reveals riper, fleshier fruit and a dense, full-bodied texture. Le Bourg is from vines averaging 80 years old, planted on a thin layer of clay over a deep bed of tuffeau, also in Chacé. The combination of vine age and richer soil makes this the most powerfully structured wine in Clos Rougeard’s array.

Cloudline Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2024 750ml
Cloudline Pinot Noir — Willamette Valley, Oregon 2024
Cloudline is produced by the team behind Domaine Drouhin Oregon — one of the Willamette Valley's most celebrated and historic estates, founded in 1987 when the Drouhin family of Burgundy recognized the extraordinary potential of Oregon's Dundee Hills for producing world-class Pinot Noir. Cloudline is their approachable, everyday expression of the Willamette Valley: sourced from select vineyards across the appellation, it is crafted to capture the signature warmth, spice, and red fruit character of Oregon Pinot Noir in a vibrant, food-friendly style that overdelivers at every price point.

The color is bright ruby with luminous clarity. The nose is warm and inviting — fresh raspberry, cherry, and strawberry with a distinctive spicy lift that speaks to the Willamette Valley's volcanic soils. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and fresh with a round, velvety texture, soft tannins, and a supple, fruit-forward finish. A quintessential introduction to Oregon Pinot Noir — fresh, elegant, and endlessly food-friendly.

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand 2025 750ml
Cloudy Bay · Sauvignon Blanc · Marlborough · 2025
In 1985, Cloudy Bay planted vines in Marlborough and changed the world’s understanding of what Sauvignon Blanc could be. Before Cloudy Bay, New Zealand was a footnote in the global wine conversation. After it, Marlborough became a benchmark — a name synonymous with cool-climate precision, electric aromatics, and a style of white wine that no other region on earth replicates quite the same way. Four decades on, the estate remains the standard-bearer: sourcing from across Marlborough’s diverse sub-regions, blending with meticulous care, and bottling under screwcap to preserve every last molecule of freshness. WN:93. At $28.89, this is the iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc — and one of the best values at this level of pedigree.
The 2025 is open and expressive from the first pour: peach, elderflower, makrut lime, and gooseberry on the nose, with a herbal lift and sea salt minerality that is unmistakably Marlborough. On the palate: bright lemon, white nectarine, and passionfruit, framed by refreshing acidity and a clean, steel-cut citrus finish with real precision and length. Drink now through 2027.
“Highly aromatic, with elderflower, citrus, and passionfruit. Crisp, textural, and elegant — a benchmark expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.”
— Wineanorak, 93 Points. (Vintage 2025)."Concentrated and fragrant, with lemongrass, lemon verbena and celery salt notes to complement the pineapple, mango and lemon curd flavors, backed by a touch of orange sherbet. Gains momentum on the long, expressive finish." - The Wine Spectator, 93 Points. (Vintage 2025).
"The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is fleshy and intense, as is the style of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, and there is enough savory extract and shape in the wine to elevate it beyond the norm. Here, we have grass clippings and brine, green olive tapenade, passion fruit and pineapple husk. The acidity is saline, and all elements work together toward a common goal. I recall, in context, this wine looking a little sweeter and fleshier than some of its regional peers, and yet here today in isolation, it looks tight, textural and composed. It's very good indeed. Cloudy Bay is a member of the Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW). 13% alcohol." - The Wine Advocate, 94 Points. (Vintage 2025).
"Vivid, round and juicy, with lemons, limes, fresh herbs and some mild spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fresh acidity. Lively and succulent, with a delicious finish packed with limes. - James Suckling, 92 Points. (Vintage 2025).

WN:93 — the wine that put Marlborough on the map, still setting the standard 40 years on.
Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023
The Wine Spectator 91 Points | "Juicy and intense, with concentration to the passionfruit, pineapple, Key lime and kumquat flavors at the core. Details of toasted green tea, lemon thyme and makrut lime leaf add aromatic intensity, with a touch of crunchy sea salt on the finish. Drink now. 8,259 cases made, 207 cases imported."
Winemaker's Notes:
Te Koko 2023 is initially reticent on the nose, but with time in the glass opens to reveal notes of just-ripe mango, lemon verbena and juicy sun-warmed lemon. The palate is concentrated and mouthwateringly complex. The sun-warmed impression continues, with notes of meadow hay, preserved citrus, and white nectarine, with layers of salted almond and a gentle smoky minerality leading through to a long and focused finish.

Cocchi Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry — Piedmont, Italy 500ml
Released to mark Cocchi’s 130th anniversary, Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry is a landmark expression from the birthplace of vermouth itself. Labeled “Ricetta Piemontese” — Piedmontese Recipe — every relevant ingredient in this vermouth comes exclusively from Piemonte, reflecting a deep and uncompromising bond with the region. While classic dry vermouths were traditionally the domain of Southeast France, Cocchi has crafted a distinctly Piedmontese answer to the category — and it is exceptional.
The wine base is Cortese, the same grape behind Gavi DOCG, lending a crisp, mineral freshness.

Using estate Moscato as the wine base and vibrant, spicy botanicals including cocoa, citrus, ginger, and rhubarb, Cocchi produces a sweet red vermouth of unmatched authenticity and depth. Unlike other popular Italian vermouths, Cocchi retains wines of Piedmont as the base and avoids the heavy sheen of vanilla or caramel that can clash with cocktail ingredients.
Deep ruby in color, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino Rosso opens with rich aromas of cocoa, rhubarb, citrus peel, and warm spice. The palate is beautifully balanced between sweetness and herbal complexity, with a velvety texture and a refined, lingering finish. Delicious poured over ice with a lemon zest, and an essential base for the most classic cocktails.
“The last remaining example of appellation Vermouth di Torino to comply with all classical requirements — Cocchi is the benchmark.”

Cointreau Liqueur 80 Proof 375ml
Cointreau L'Unique Orange Liqueur — France
Cointreau is the original triple sec — the benchmark against which every orange liqueur is measured. Distilled in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou since 1875, L'Unique is crafted from a precise blend of sweet and bitter orange peels sourced from around the world, triple-distilled in copper pot stills to achieve its signature clarity and balance. At 80 proof, it is at once intensely aromatic and supremely versatile — the essential building block of the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Sidecar, and a sublime digestif on its own over ice. The 375ml size is the perfect introduction to the world's most iconic orange liqueur — or the ideal addition to any well-stocked home bar.
The nose opens with a sophisticated orange pulp bouquet that, after aeration, shifts to dry, elegant peel. On the palate, the entry is intensely orange peel-like yet more sweet than bittersweet; the midpalate is deeply orangey, sweet, and sublimely juicy. The finish is ideally citrusy, tart, and astringent before turning lithe and sweet — a textbook expression of what orange liqueur can be.

Col De'Salici Brut Rose de Salice Spumante 750ml
Winemaker Description
Delicate pink in color this wine features bright highlights. It is crisp, lively and fresh, full of ripe cherry and berry flavors. The body is exceptionally light and satiny. It has a pleasing long, dry finish.
Memo Summary Notes
The Col De’ Salici "Rosé de’ Salici" Spumante Brut is a charming and versatile sparkling rosé from the Veneto region of Italy. Often described as a "step up from standard Prosecco," it is appreciated for its vibrant color and crisp, dry profile.
Unlike typical Prosecco (which is almost always 100% Glera), this spumante uses a unique blend of red and white grapes to achieve its structure and hue.
Because of its crispness and fruit-forward nature, it is an excellent "aperitivo" wine but also holds up well to food:
-
Brunch: Smoked salmon bagels, eggs benedict, or fruit tarts.
-
Appetizers: Prosciutto and melon, caprese salad, or fried calamari.
-
Main Courses: Spicy Thai or Indian cuisine (the bubbles and fruit help temper the heat) and grilled shrimp.

Colgin IX Estate Red 2021 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021
The Wine Advocate 99 Points | Colgin's 2021 IX Estate is a rich, opulent example, with layers of ripe black cherries and dark chocolate punctuated by hints of sage and bay leaf, plus some vaguely floral notes (violets?). Full-bodied, concentrated, velvety and long, it's another terrific wine that showcases the potential of Pritchard Hill, the investment by the owners and the talent of the winemaking team.
James Suckling 99 Points | Red currant, lead pencil and terra cotta aromas with some bay leaf and sage. Full-bodied with tight, firm tannins that are polished and very fine. Turns to graphite. Extremely long, refined, polished and exquisite. Best after 2028.
98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck | I’d wager a Napa Valley legend in the making, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon IX Estate comes from the estate vineyard on Pritchard Hill, and if there was ever a classification of terroirs in the valley, this would check in near the top of the list. Deep purple-hued, with awesome aromatics of pure cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and subtle floral hints, this has that rare mix of power and elegance that defines so many great wines. Full-bodied, concentrated, and flawlessly balanced, it has no shortage of structure and is going to need 7-8 years, if not a decade, to hit full maturity, where it will hold for 2-3 decade.
98 Points Vinous | The 2021 IX Estate is such an elegant wine. Sleek, aromatic and refined, the 2021 is one of the most polished young wines I have tasted from this site. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and mint abound. Silky and delineated, the 2021 is exceptionally beautiful and balanced. Clean saline notes and veins of tannin extend the explosive, sublime finish.
Winemaker Description
One of the "cult" producers to crop up in the early 1990s, Colgin Cellars' first vintage was in 1992, with fruit purchased from the Herb Lamb Vineyard, located on the lower slopes of Howell Mountain, just low enough not to be part of the Howell Mountain AVA. Colgin would later go on to buy land and develop vineyards at Tychson Hill (westside Saint Helena, purchased 1996) and IX Estate (Pritchard Hill, purchased in 1998). In 2017, Ann Colgin and her husband, Joe Wender, sold a controlling interest in Colgin Cellars to LVMH but remain active in the business.
Today, Colgin owns six acres of vines at Tychson Hill and 20 acres of vines at IX Estate, with 11 more acres there currently being developed. Cariad comes primarily from the Abreu-farmed Madrona Ranch, on the western side of Saint Helena. Director of Winemaking Allison Tauziet has been with Colgin since 2005, when she joined as assistant winemaker, so she is nearing 20 years of experience with these wines.
To put the new-release 2021s in perspective, Colgin, Wender and Tauziet presented three vintages each of the four wines reviewed this issue—2016, 2018 and 2021. I guess it will surprise no one that these are all gorgeous wines, given the positive press and numerous accolades bestowed on previous vintages, but it is encouraging to see that success and age hasn't slowed down the Colgin team's pursuit of excellence. I've included my ratings and reviews of the older vintages so readers can compare my impressions to those of my predecessor. Like many other producers, Colgin bottled no wines in 2020.
Colonel EH Taylor Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
One of the most coveted limited releases in American whiskey, the Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon is a masterclass in grain complexity and barrel craft. Produced at the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this exceptional bourbon uses a rare mash bill of four grains — corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — to create a whiskey of remarkable depth, balance, and character. A true collector's bottle.
The E.H. Taylor Legacy
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. is one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller and legislator, Taylor was instrumental in passing the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which established the first federal quality standards for American whiskey. The E.H. Taylor line from Buffalo Trace honors his legacy with small-batch, meticulously crafted releases that represent the pinnacle of Kentucky bourbon.
Tasting Profile
Opens with an inviting, complex aroma of rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and caramel corn. The palate delivers remarkable depth — layers of grain complexity, subtle smokiness, and well-integrated oak tannins. The four grains interact beautifully with the charred oak barrel, maintaining a smooth, even balance throughout. The finish is long, warm, and deeply satisfying. Unique, refined, and unmistakably Taylor.

Why Four Grain?
Most bourbons use a three-grain mash bill. The addition of a fourth grain — wheat alongside the traditional corn, rye, and malted barley — adds a layer of softness and complexity that sets this release apart. It's a rare expression that showcases Buffalo Trace's mastery of grain selection and barrel aging, and one of the most sought-after limited releases in the Taylor lineup.
Collector's Notes
The Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain is a limited annual release with extremely restricted allocation. Bottles are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to allow the full complexity to unfold.
