Colonel E.H. Taylor - Barrel Proof Bourbon 4th Release (127.2 Proof)
Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof is uncut, unfiltered, and coveted by bourbon lovers around the world. This 2015 release was bottled at 127.2 proof.
One of the real fathers of bourbon is Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. He was adopted by his uncle, Edmund Haynes Taylor Snr., who rechristened him as his junior, after becoming an orphan at the age of five in 1830. Due to his honorary title of Kentucky Colonel, E.H. Taylor Jr. is also referred to as Colonel Taylor. Taylor established and owned seven distinct distilleries throughout the course of his career, and because of his advocacy for the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, he is regarded as "the father of modern bourbon."
Nose: Heavy brown sugar, caramel, red apple, slight lemon, has some fruity goodness.
Taste: Warm vanilla spice, has that red apple which is nice, (apparently I like red apples in Bourbon form) slight caramel, dark chocolate, has some nuttiness to it, almond.
