Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Bourbon

Hotter than I remembered. Good mouthfeel though. Thick, you can tell its barrel stength. Good sweetness, not a ton of pepper. Some oak on the finish, but not too strong.

After resting in a glen for a few minutes, the bose comes off hot. But i do sense sweet oak, and tobacco playing peekaboo amidst the intensity. Its tannic and a little astringent on the palate, but notes of oak and vanilla do shine through. The finish is the best part. The harshness is gone and all that remains is the best part of this which are notes of oak and sweet vanilla.

An intense, Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey by Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky for the Sazerac Company presented at barrel proof; uncut & unfiltered. It has a rich & bold birth with notes of cooked berries, caramel & a hint of floral notes; while a bold & spicy life adds notes of spice, toasty vanilla, dried oak & pepper; that led to a long & balanced death with a hint of fruit. May / July 2022 Batch 11 - August 2024
