As founding father of the bourbon industry, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. left an indelible legacy. His dedication to distilling began at the close of the Civil War when he purchased O.F C. Distillery. There, he developed innovative techniques that are still in use today. Made by hand, this Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey has been aged inside century old warehouses constructed by E.H. Taylor, Jr. Ā Barrels are evaluated and selected to create a perfect blend of distinctive character that is like no other.
It follows the regulations of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, which Taylor was instrumental in passing, which requires that a bourbon be crafted from barrels all distilled by a single distillery, in a single season, stored in a bonded warehouse for four years before bottling, and bottled at 100 proof.
Crafted from hand-selected barrels, this bourbon is bottled directly from the barrel; uncut and unfiltered at more than 125 proof. It reflects the way whiskey was produced in the days before Prohibition, when Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was the owner of Buffalo Trace Distillery. Drawn from barrels aged in warehouses constructed over a century ago under Taylor's watchful eye, the taste is smooth, yet powerful and uncompromising, just like its namesake.
E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Bourbon Tasting Notes:
Aroma: strong notes of buttered pecans with layers of dark brown sugar, deep tobacco, and thick oak sidle in followed by hints of dark raspberry and apple interject, that are overtaken by an overwhelming amount of toasted nut scent.
Palate: soft sweet brown sugar and dark fruit notes. Vanilla bean, heavy oak, and burnt caramel further combine to create a familiar and straightforward flavor profile. The bourbon has a solid delivery of flavors that work very well together and simply hit the spot.
Finish: a minty menthol, coffee bean, and cinnamon nut aftertaste. Long lasting and rather vigorous with a decent amount of oak that introduces a slightly dry element to the finish that isnāt detrimental and further adds to the grounded nature of the bourbon
