WOTD 8: Col. E.H. Taylor Small Batch
So this is the Colonel we all know and love. No jokes about KFC please. This is a great whiskey from Buffalo Trace Distillery that comes in some different expressions like Single Barrel and Barrel Proof. But today we're looking at Small Batch. This is Bottled in Bond, meaning the whiskey is distilled from one plant during one season and aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years. It has less then 10% rye in it's mashbill.
Nose: Apples, vanilla and caramel. Fruits with a bit of the wood of the barrel.
Palate: Caramel and vanilla, hint of the apple.
Finish: Cinnamon for sure. Add a little water to help with the burn, but still tasty neat.
These are rather hard to come by, although I did come across a few in Montgomery, AL, most places I have only see the Rye (and at $70 I'm not surprised the Rye is hanging on the shelves). If you can find it in stores, you're looking at between $35 and $40.
