Buffalo Trace Kosher Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

USA : KENTUCKY : FRANKFORT

Rye Mash

MED-BODIED, RYE SPICE, CITRUS PEEL, CLOVE, HONEY, TOASTED OAK

The actual rye of Buffalo Trace's three kosher whiskeys — the Rye Recipe and Wheat Recipe bottlings are bourbons, and the names trip people up. This one is a straight rye, made under the supervision of the Chicago Rabbinical Council for cRc kosher certification and aged in barrels set aside only for kosher spirits. Buffalo Trace doesn't publish the mash percentages.

The barrels were bought new in 2012 and, under cRc oversight, sold to a non-Jewish Buffalo Trace executive so the whiskey would never be in Jewish ownership over Passover; the bottling lines are flushed before it goes into glass. It is kosher, but not kosher for Passover, which is why it ships once a year, after the holiday. The kosher releases move quickly and don't always come back in quantity.

The Whiskey Shelf rated it Top Shelf in 2024 and called it "a step up from Sazerac rye."
