TAYLOR Barrel Proof Bourbon
Tasting Notes…
COLONEL E. H. TAYLOR Barrel Proof Bourbon 750ml bottle: Nose – Sweet apple pie, dark cherries, rich caramel, boozy vanilla custard, Crème Brûlée, nutmeg, clove, and bold oak.
Taste – Whew! A great mouthfeel and very rounded palate. Just a rollercoaster of flavor. The big cherry and fruity notes come through up front. Apple pie, maybe even a touch of apricot mixing in. This has a background of rich oak that’s backed up by a pile of spice. This moves from fruity to desserty to spicy and back again.
Finish – Truly impressive finish. This fluctuates between the front and back of the palate with sweet delicious baked fruits, oak, caramel, vanilla, and spice. It’s nearly everything you could ever ask for.
Final thoughts COLONEL E. H. TAYLOR Barrel Proof Bourbon 750ml bottle
This is a truly impressive bottle. I have sipped through a few of the releases of this product and usually preferred the Stagg Jr. releases over the EH Taylor, but this 2021 release of Col. E.H. Taylor Jr. Barrel Proof is one for the books!
Our grading system: As mentioned in our About Us page, we’re excited to share bourbon with our friends, family, and readers. There are enough critics, cynics, and curmudgeons in the whiskey world as it is, so our goal is to foster the bourbon community in a positive way by bringing fun and entertaining content whenever possible–as such–we decided that applying precise scores to whiskey was simply too serious for us (and didn’t accurately showcase variability in taste from day to day).
We use a simple grade school system to apply a grade to the whiskeys we review because we feel it is indicative of the whiskey’s grade for us on that particular day. A grade of a “B” today may very well be a “B+” or even a “B-” on another day, so rather than focusing on a precise score today that may not stand the test of time, we are just sharing our overall grade of that pour for that one tasting. Pour a bit and enjoy, friends, these are the good old days of whiskey!
