An excellent brand owned by Buffalo Trace that uses similar methods and recipes to the ones Colonel E. H. Taylor introduced and improved during his time as a bourbon distiller in the late 1800s. The Single Barrel release is made with specially selected barrel exclusively aged in Warehouse C, which Taylor built himself in 1881! What a guy.
Some pretty spicy notes, rich with oak. It's cooled down with fruity figs and plums.
Sweet and buttery, with a surprising hint of orange peel. Some tobacco smokiness follows.
Very long indeed, the tobacco notes in full effect.
That Colonel E.H. Taylor sure knew what he was doing, and the distillers of this single barrel bourbon definitely do too. Simply fantastic.
I sat down with a glass of Pappy Van Winkle 15 yo and a glass of Col EH Taylor single barrel. The Col was much better. Smooth. Great taste with a sweet finish. If you find a bottle, buy it. You won't be disappointed!
Orange peel on the nose. Absolutely silky palate. Like something out of a dream where you can fly and skip merrily across clouds then slide down a rainbow. So easy to drink yet not overly sugary.
All I have to say about this is...WOW! Words cannot do this any justice. Grab a bottle if you can and hang on to it.
Beautiful finish, a real surprise that this was so good
Has a great red fruit finish similar to William Larue Weller from the BTAC. Great stuff and underrated.
