E.H. Taylor Amaranth Grain Bourbon – Authentic Tasting & Collectible Profile

E.H. Taylor Amaranth Grain Bourbon opens with a nose that is unlike anything else in the Buffalo Trace portfolio or anywhere else in the American whiskey category.

Amaranth is an ancient grain with a naturally nutty, earthy, and subtly sweet aromatic profile that no conventional bourbon grain corn, rye, wheat, or malted barley — can replicate. On the nose, that character arrives as warm toasted grain, subtle earthiness, and a quiet nuttiness that weaves through the familiar Buffalo Trace foundation of rich caramel and toasted vanilla. The result is a nosing experience that is simultaneously grounded in Kentucky bourbon tradition and genuinely unlike anything you have encountered before.

At 100 proof, every aromatic layer arrives with clarity and concentration. Nothing is diluted. Nothing is softened. The amaranth grain character and the Buffalo Trace barrel program meet at exactly the right proof point to keep every note clearly defined and fully expressive.

On the palate, the E.H. Taylor Amaranth Grain Bourbon delivers an experience that rewards patience and deliberate attention. The amaranth grain produces a mid-palate texture and flavor profile that is noticeably different from a standard corn-forward or rye-forward bourbon.

Toasted grain, warm nuttiness, and a subtle earthiness anchor the mid-palate. Rich caramel, vanilla, and charred oak from the Buffalo Trace barrel program build steadily around them. Light baking spice and a thread of dried fruit provide additional complexity in the background.

The 100 proof Bottled-in-Bond standard ensures what is in the glass is exactly what the distillery produced. No blending across seasons. No proof manipulation. Pure experimental craft at its most accountable and transparent.

The finish is long, complex, and deeply contemplative. Toasted amaranth grain, caramel, and charred oak fade slowly through a final note of warm nuttiness and vanilla that lingers in a way that no standard bourbon grain combination produces.

The collector significance of the E.H. Taylor Amaranth Grain Bourbon extends well beyond its flavor profile. The E.H. Taylor experimental series represents Buffalo Trace’s most serious and deliberate exploration of what Kentucky straight bourbon can become when the constraints of traditional grain usage are set aside in favor of genuine scientific and craft curiosity.

Amaranth has never been used at scale in American whiskey production. This release documents one of the first serious attempts to understand what it contributes and that historical significance alone makes every bottle in this release irreplaceable.
