Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bourbon

This one is extremely difficult to obtain here and when it comes is worthy of procurement. On the nose, the rye spice and black pepper are immediately present. Going deeper, black currant, black cherry, dark grape, burnt brown sugar and vanilla also show up. I also pick up a bit of a earthy or musty note that I can best describe as wet oak. On the palate, the finish lasts incredibly long. The rye spice makes its self known hitting the back of the throat, but not overpowering. Notes of mild semisweet dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and grape coat the roof of the mouth and just sit there to enjoy. Extremely complex, with new flavors emerging on each sip. Ridiculously long finish. Crazy good. Nose - 4/5 Taste - 4.5/5 Overall 4.25/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Special Occasion
