It is my time to revisit buffalo trace’s (over-)hyped low/mid-level product line. CEHTSmB was on deck! Wanted to come back to it to see if my somewhat tepid response had evolved over time.
Still a super creamy nose. All lactose with an evasive but measurable sweetness. Vanilla and pear is the best I can label it. A flash of spice that seems unavoidable at the end of a sniff no many how many times I acclimate.
An incredibly oily body for 100 proof. Quite impressive and enjoyable. Adds to the creamy qualities.
Cream and prevalent vanilla that immediately blossoms into cinnamon spice on the tongue. Not overly sweet (a pleasant change of pace) but only for the spice lovers. This cinnamon and menthol tingle does not fade (neat, at least).
Finally starting to appreciate the bottle for what it is as an adventurous departure from mainline bourbon. Will never be a favorite but an enjoyable change of pace that is clearly well-made but not in my typical wheelhouse for bourbon. I will keep a bottle around for the variety.

Ahh, EH Taylor. Can’t do much better for the price. All together one of the more rich bourbons for the age, notes of chocolate, toffee and almost a nutty caramel. Flavors will vary slightly from bottle to bottle. But, considering the age and the price, you will be hard pressed to find a more rich and wonderful bourbon.
