Colonel E.H. Taylor - Barrel Proof Bourbon 5th Release (127.5 Proof)
Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof is uncut, unfiltered, and coveted by bourbon lovers around the world. This 2016 release was bottled at 127.5 proof.
Hailing from Buffalo Trace, Colonel E.H. Taylor was created by the Sazerac company in 2009 after they purchased the Old Taylor brand from Jim Beam.
The brand applies methods and mashbills comparable to those introduced by Colonel E. H. Taylor. Edmund Haynes Taylor is generally considered to be the father of modern bourbon, recognising the the importance of strong brands and building numerous important distilleries, including Old Fashioned Copper (OFC, better known today as Buffalo Trace)
Nose – Sweet apple pie, dark cherries, rich caramel, boozy vanilla custard, Crème Brûlée, nutmeg, clove, and bold oak.
Taste – A great mouthfeel and very rounded palate. The big cherry and fruity notes come through up front. Apple pie, maybe even a touch of apricot mixing in. This has a background of rich oak that’s backed up by a pile of spice. This moves from fruity to desserty to spicy and back again.
Finish – Truly impressive finish. This fluctuates between the front and back of the palate with sweet delicious baked fruits, oak, caramel, vanilla, and spice.
