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

Aggressive for sure, add a few drops of water and flavor really opens up. Glad I had a chance to try it.

Great combination of sweet and spicy. You can tell it's a bit strong, but it is so smooth that you wouldn't think it's as strong as it is.

Tried side by side with stagg jr. spicier and more of a tea flavor here. Im not a proof hound and i prefer eh taylor single barrel

The nose went through multiple changes starting with butterscotch, vanilla and caramel. After sitting, a nice floral note became abundant then the oaky, leather tannins and tobacco rounded out the nose after 30-45 min The palette was very similar to the nose with a journey to match. The first sip was spicy as expected from the proof. When chewing for a while, a slight mineral influence appeared on the back of the tongue The finish was all tobacco, tannins and oak. Evidence that this particular bottling had some decent age. This pour was while at Acre 41 in the Otis Hotel while visiting Austin
