Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C Tornado Surviving Bourbon is a legendary and once-in-a-lifetime release born from extraordinary circumstances. On April 2, 2006, a powerful storm tore through Central Kentucky, severely damaging Warehouse C at Buffalo Trace Distillery—a historic structure built by Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. in 1885. A portion of the roof and brick walls were destroyed, exposing select barrels to the natural elements for an entire summer.
Rather than being a loss, this rare exposure to sunlight, wind, and fluctuating temperatures transformed the bourbon inside. Years later, when these barrels were sampled, they revealed a depth of flavor unlike anything previously experienced at the distillery. The result is a bold, intensely flavorful bourbon with a profile shaped by nature’s unexpected hand.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Rich and layered with deep notes of caramelized oak, vanilla bean, honey, and sun-warmed fruit, underscored by hints of leather and spice.
-
Palate: Exceptionally bold and complex, featuring waves of dark toffee, toasted nuts, cinnamon, charred oak, and dried apricot, with a remarkable balance of sweetness and spice.
-
Finish: Long, warming, and resonant, with lingering notes of oak tannin, dark fruit, and baking spice that evolve with every sip.
Why It’s Special:
This bourbon is not only a product of expert craftsmanship but also of fate. The unexpected exposure to Kentucky’s summer climate produced a whiskey unlike any other in Buffalo Trace’s history. The Warehouse C Tornado Surviving release is a rare celebration of resilience, nature, and the aging process—offering a uniquely rich and complex profile that can never be replicated.
Perfect Pairing:
Enjoy neat to fully appreciate its remarkable story and layered flavors. Pairs beautifully with grilled steak, rich desserts like pecan pie, or a hand-rolled cigar to complement its bold, matured character.
A Storm-Born Masterpiece:
Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C Tornado Surviving is more than just a bourbon—it’s a piece of whiskey history shaped by nature, preserved by time, and celebrated by those lucky enough to experience it.
