E H TAYLOR JR CURED OAK 750ml Merlot A rich and complex flavorWhat separates Cured Oak from the standard Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. collection is the rigorous stave seasoning process. Because the oak is exposed to open air drying for 13 months, it draws out more tannin and terpene development from the wood before the distillate ever enters the barrel. Buffalo Trace states this extra time allows the whiskey to extract richer flavors, culminating in notes of dried fruit, tobacco, and a signature dry, long finish.
