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

Mild vanilla, honey and toasted ‘smores, oily mouthfeel. Warm but slightly bitter finish.

Nose: Caramel apple, vanilla, cherries, peaches, banana. Orange blossom and honeysuckle. Roasted peanuts. Dusty corn. Thyme, basil. Black pepper. Oak. Almost bright pineapple. Mangoes. You definitely get a big, clean nose off this. Not cloying or overly dry. Classic bourbon. Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, oak, char. Barrel bitter. Fruity and floral - orange blossoms come to mind again. Bananas, apricots, fuyu persimmons. Tannin. Medium-light mouthfeel with just enough oil to keep things around for a while. Finish starts with a flash of sweet potpourri, then falls into a less sharp floral and herbaceous direction. Vanilla, banana, and sweet mandarins then come forward. Everything then falls down into a sparkly, charred oak note.

This just has that awesome taste and that EH funk. Awesome pour

So smooth. Delicious. Spice, butterscotch, maple

I enjoyed this bourbon. When you nose it, you can get a hint of spices and sweetness. Lots of spice with every pull, almost too spicy for me. Don’t really get any of the sweetness it advertises but overall it’s a good bourbon.
