Description
Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon 129.0 Proof Batch 11 2022 is an uncut and unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled directly from hand-selected barrels at its natural strength. This specific 2022 release, Batch 11, presents at a robust 129.0 proof, offering an unadulterated expression favored by collectors.
The Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. brand is named after Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., a significant figure in bourbon history often called the “father of modern bourbon” for his advocacy of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Taylor established several distilleries, including the notable Old Taylor Distillery, known for its castle-like architecture. Though the original distillery closed in 1972, the Sazerac Company acquired the brand and facilities in 2009. Today, Colonel E.H. Taylor whiskies, including this Barrel Proof expression, are produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels deemed exceptional enough for the Barrel Proof release, bottled without chill filtration or water reduction at over 125 proof, ensuring a potent and authentic character.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Cooked berries meets the nose, followed by a rich caramel and slightly floral smell.
- Palate: Bold and full of spice that fills the mouth with a distinct flavor of toasty vanilla, dried oak and pepper.
- Finish: Long and satisfying with a powerful rye character and lingering hints of fruit.
Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof is typically an annual release and is considered a highly sought-after, allocated bourbon.
