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

The three S’s Sweet Silky Smooth

2018 release; 3.75 Nose: 3.75 | sweet, rich brown sugar, hint of corn Palate: 4 | sweet caramel, slight spice in the backed; nice mouthfeel though not big Finish: 3.75 | it hangs around, but nothing memorable Price: 3.75 | while I really enjoy this, there are so many options at $70+ Compared to 2017 Small Batch: Single Barrel edges out the Small Batch, similar characteristics, but definitely a better, amped up version Verdict: Bottle Though I've heard this is an inconsistent offering, I lucked out with a very solid pour.

EH Taylor SB is a must have on the bar and is a fantastic bourbon all around...but each barrel can taste a little different. I recently had a bottle that had a funky taste, not anywhere close to a second bottle I had.

Nose- Sweet nose with caramel and brown sugar notes. Body- Caramel and brown sugar continue. Very rich sweet tea with a smooth mouth feel. Finish- Very sweet finish gives way to pecan pralines. I like this a lot. It is very sweet and silky but without the oily tannins in some other bourbons. It coats your mouth without the bitterness of richer bourbons.
