Well…the whiskey, and sharing the whiskey experience with you. The reasoning
there is quite simple: I’m only interested in the whiskey. You won’t often see
mention of purported secondary market “value” in my write-ups, or see glory
shots of unopened bottles on my social media, and you’ll likely never see things
of that nature in my grading or tasting notes. Taylor, Jr.A big part of what I’m
out to do is find (TheBourbonFinder, get it? □ ) bottles at retail so I can
share my experience with you –the reader. Hancock’s President’s Reserve Single
BarrelĮ.H.

It is based on mash bill #1, so the amount of amaranth averages 10 percent and
is found only in E.H. The amaranth mash bill includes heritage grain amaranth
instead of rye in its makeup. The four-grain mash bill is made from corn, rye,
wheat, and malted barley and is found in only E.H. Taylor, Jr.’s Straight Rye
and Barrel Proof Rye bottles. Of the Buffalo Trace brands, it can be found in
E.H. With no added sweetness, this mash bill produces a flavor profile that is
herbaceous and spicy. This mash bill is said to contain no corn and is instead
made entirely from rye and malted barley. With at least 50 percent rye, the
Buffalo Trace rye mash bill can be found in Sazerac Rye and Van Winkle Family
Reserve Rye.

The rye mash bill of Buffalo Trace has a similar ratio to typical whiskeys whose
makeup is more or less split evenly between rye and corn. Pappy Van Winkle is
the most notable Buffalo Trace brand containing the wheated mash bill, but it
can also be found in coveted bottles such as E.H. In this mash bill, wheat
replaces the rye component of the recipe, giving its bourbons a smooth and
slightly sweet taste. The most well-known brands made with mash bill #2 include
Blanton’s Single Barrel, Ancient Age, and the rare Elmer T. Similar to mash bill
#1, it can be found in both entry-level and highly coveted bottles. However, the
term high rye is a bit misleading as it is often associated with mash bills
containing 20 to 35 percent rye or more. Mash bill #2 is commonly referred to as
the “high-rye mash bill” and is known to contain 12 to15 percent rye. It is
thought to include 10 percent or less rye and can be found in many of the
distillery’s base brands, such as Benchmark and namesake Buffalo Trace bourbon,
thought is also used for highly regarded bottles like Eagle Rare 17 Year Old.
Known as the “low-rye mash bill,” this is the most common and universal Buffalo
Trace mash bill. Note: These are estimated amounts as Buffalo Trace does not
disclose complete mash bill information. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a
quick guide to each of the mash bills offered by Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Knowledge of the rye percentages included in Buffalo Trace products can help
determine which mash bill category the whiskey falls under. Though there are a
few outliers, most of the spirits produced by Buffalo Trace fall within these
categories with many of them being created from similar recipes. In the whiskey
world, it’s know that the Buffalo Trace portfolio has two primary mash bills:
mash bill #1, mash bill #2 plus two specific mash bills: wheated and rye.
Although we don’t know the complete breakdown of each bourbon, there is some
known information that allows us to decipher where the flavors for each begin.
The core taste of every bourbon and whiskey lies in its mash bill, and while
some bourbon brands fully disclose their recipes, the exact blends of Buffalo
Trace’s range have remained a very well-kept secret. As a leader in the
category, it produces some of the rarest and most beloved products available and
has cultivated a fanbase devoted to unique styles and distinct flavor profiles.
No doubt about it, Buffalo Trace Distillery is one of the best known in the
whiskey world.
