Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye

Delicious. The burn of black pepper on the nose turns to white pepper on the palate. It definitely tastes like a young high rye whiskey, but has a lot of complexity. There’s no corn in the mash bill, but the wood char comes through with pleasant vanillin that after about 20 minutes in the glass turned toward ripe banana for me. The finish is long and stings a little (in a good way) on the mid center of the tongue that reveals some cinnamon.

Niles Bourbon Share 3/9/24 Thanks to Adam. Good rye. Not worth paying up for IMO. EHT is a great value in any expression I'm sure when you find it at retail.

Clove. Decadent sweet cherry. Dill.
