Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a rye-recipe Kentucky Straight Bourbon, despite the rye in its name, made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in collaboration with the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc). It uses the same grains as Buffalo Trace Bourbon, but it ages in specifically designated kosher barrels and follows strict guidelines to meet Passover requirements, then arrives once a year after the holiday. Seven years of aging and a 47.5% ABV give it real depth: caramel, vanilla and a light spice on the nose, then layered rye spiciness, caramel sweetness and a touch of oak on a smooth, complex palate, closing long and warm. It suits the kosher-observant drinker who wants a serious bourbon on the table, the collector tracking annual releases, and anyone who likes a spicier bourbon neat or over a cube. We carry it because it fills a real need without asking anyone to compromise on flavor, and because it is a genuinely good pour on its own terms.
Pairs well with
- Slow-braised smoked brisket — The rye spice and touch of oak stand up to rich, smoky meat, while the caramel sweetness softens the edges.
- Kosher whiskey tasting night — Its balance of caramel, vanilla and rye spice gives guests a clear reference point when comparing it with other kosher spirits.
- Pecan or caramel desserts — The bourbon's caramel and vanilla notes echo the dessert, and the long, warm finish keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy.
