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.
Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is one of my top 5 favorite bourbons. It's becoming increasingly hard to find. So , if you find a bottle, it would behoove you to buy it.
My ancestor was an E H Taylor, lived in upper state NY. Edwin Hart Taylor. Wondering about this EHTaylor and if they are connected. Sorry I don't care of the stuff, but would make good gifts for family members.
As a mature whiskey drinker and a lover of fine Bourbon, I can't be more enthusiastic about the single barrel Taylor. Simply the best. Also the tasting notes above are exactly spot on.
Bought this at my BC Govt Liquor Store for $94. It’s the best bourbon I’ve ever tasted. Sweet and potent with a smooth, smokey finish. Beautiful.
Up there with the best and IMO far better than their Small Batch offering.
