Colonel EH Taylor Amaranth
Buffalo Trace
Tasting Notes
Colonel E.H. Taylor Amaranth is a truly distinctive, limited-edition bourbon, honoring Colonel Taylor's innovative spirit with its use of 'Grain of the Gods' amaranth in the mashbill. Aged over a decade and bottled-in-bond at 100 proof, this whiskey delivers a captivating experience. The nose opens with warm apple cider, rich caramel, and subtle baking spices, evolving into a complex aroma of creamy leather and hints of nutty funk. On the palate, a vibrant array of flavors emerges – think robust oak, sweet honey, and ripe summer fruits, with a unique nutty undertone. The finish is earthy and peppery, leaving a robust, lingering warmth. It's a fascinating, layered pour that offers a compelling deviation from traditional Taylor profiles, showcasing a bold new direction.
