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

spicy, sweet and bright. all in all a near perfect bourbon.

Corn and caramel sweetness with slight floral and gentle higher ABV spice, finishing with semi dry oak. Very similar to Blanton’s but with a lighter profile (less sweetness and oak). Unfortunately a rare find in Ontario, priced the same as the equally hard to find Small Batch offering at $99. Worth it, if only just to have the gorgeous vintage-style bottle on display :)

Tasted at BJ's Brew House Westminster, CO one evening in Feb 2018 at the bar. Rich, sweet bourbon up front followed by long, surprisingly complex charred wood notes on the finish. Very friendly. Nothing challenging about this at all. Reminds me of Elijah Craig, minus the cinnamon.
