Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye

Nose: Warm and sweet with a spicy cinnamon and just a touch of nutmeg. Black tea. Taste: Can’t quite put my finger on the tastes here. Not especially sweet. Not especially spicy. But a little bit of both. Warms my tongue immediately and finishes a bit dry. Very complex. I’ll have to come back to this one and note the flavors once I can pinpoint them more precisely. 11/24/20. Neat.

Nose - pepper, rye, and an almost tangy linger that I can't place. Taste- dry fruits, some sour notes, fresh dill? Weird but it's not overpowered. Hints of sweetness balances that out, oak and barrel dark spices, pepper. Finish wasn't long but oak, rye, almost leather. No age on this bottle but it tastes older than the legally required 4 yrs. I always like EHT and I like rye. It's good but I'd take the Single Barrel over this one again.

This whiskey punches you in the nose hard with alcohol. But the nose is deceptive because it's exceptionally smooth with some sweetness and rye spice. The finish lingers and reminds you you are drinking a rye
