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

2020 bottles, for the proof it is really gentle on the nose and isn’t overwhelmingly hot on the palate either

It’s just the best.

N: cherry, apple, pear, oaky. P: Hot, cinnamon, vanilla, woody. With water opens up a little bit. F: dried fruit, long.

Taylor Tuesday which should have been my first in Hawaii.

Batch 9. Super good juice. Very buttery and round and rich. Buttery caramel apple with some dark cherry on the back end. Super good. Big complex and rich mouthfeel. Long finish. Everything you want in a barrel proof. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect
