Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye

Nose: green apple, fruity, pepper Pallet: carmel apple, cinnamon spice, long finish Funky rye. Rye spice comes through on the finish but the smell of green apple transfers from the nose to front pallet. Finish hangs around for a while for a 100 proofer. Its unique and a great pour but not sure if its worth paying secondary for. Sagamore and JD BP Rye are much better value.

Too sweet for my expectations of a rye

Finally cracking this bottle. On the nose it smells like it’s about to be real smooth ha. Notes of grain, caramel, spice, slight clove, black pepper, chili. Palate it’s very smooth and easy drinking with notes of cinnamon and mint. Lil side of lamb stew 👩‍🍳

A balanced whiskey made with a unique recipe of only rye & malted barley from Tennessee. Bottled in Bond and named for Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor - a staunch supporter of the 1897 Bottled in Bond Act, this rye whiskey is aged for 4 years before bottling. It has an oily & sour birth with notes of rye spices, wood, hints of dried peels, orange zest, vanilla & linseed; while life is thick with notes of cooked fruit, caramel, potpourri, rye, black pepper, hints of butterscotch, fresh dill & prune; that leads to a long, sweet & savory death with notes of port, spice & wheat.
