Continuing my journey through some rather difficult for me to obtain bourbons, i got my hands on a bottle that i have only had one other expression ever: E.H. Colonel Taylor.
This is the small batch, which is actually not a real whiskey term, lol; since there is no legal quantity standard to determine what constitutes a "Small Batch". This one has been bottled at 50%abv (100 proof).
On the nose, i get some classic notes of honey, apples, dim hay, yeast and pear. After letting it breath, it releases a nice note of caramel.
On the palate, it has a nice spiciness upfront. Red apple peel. Cinnamon. Quite spicy really.
Aftertaste is great. If the nose and palate were a little dissapointing, the finish was a good revival moment for this dram. It has a really mellow finish; lovely honey and burnt hay. Tobacco. Nice stuff.
Overall, the wonderful aftertaste it has, made this dram pass the test. I can see how people enjoy this one due to its great finish. For me, a whiskey i can soon forget, but an average score of 80 over 100 to be fair with it.
