Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. // Kentucky, USA

Tasting Notes
"Nose is full of fresh cracked pepper, chili powder, chocolate, and barrel spices. As you taste, you get cinnamon, rye spice, and dark fruits, all backed with a Mary Jane candy sweetness. The finish is long, dark, and complex with spice and pit fruits coming back. If you have a little bit of expendable cash and see this in the store for under $85, then grab yourself a bottle."
