Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain Bourbon

one of the best i have ever had for sipping.

Sweet vanilla and fruity nose, very mild and enjoyable. The pallet starts off very sweet, and the peppery rye comes in on the back. There is a touch of oak and char offsetting the sweetness abit. Overall very smooth with a good mouth feel. The medium finish brings more pepper, char and vanilla/ caramel sweetness. Like most EH Taylor releases it does not disappoint and is worth the retail price of admission.

BT's stereotypical yeast really comes through on the nose and makes a few promises that don't pan out on the palate. It's not bad, but there's an odd astringency that prevents it from being anything more than decent.
