Colonel EH Taylor Barrel Proof
Buffalo Trace
Tasting Notes
Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof is a bold Kentucky Straight Bourbon, bottled directly from hand-selected barrels at formidable proof, often exceeding 125. This uncut, unfiltered spirit harks back to pre-Prohibition whiskey-making, promising a genuinely intense experience. The nose invites you with robust hints of corn, light fruit, and burnt caramel, often underscored by a spicy kick. Prepare your palate for an eye-opener, showcasing strong oak spice, rich brown sugar, and notes of toffee with barrel char, all delivered with a surprisingly oily texture. The finish often lingers, bringing flavors like chocolate-covered raisins or butterscotch. It’s a powerful, oak-forward pour that delivers a unique and memorable high-proof bourbon journey.
