Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Powerful and aromatic. Expect deep caramel, cooked berries, and dark chocolate mixed with hints of tobacco leaf and toasted oak.
- Palate: Explosive and rich. It coats the mouth with toasty vanilla, molasses, and roasted pecans, followed by a bold wave of black pepper and baking spices.
- Finish: Exceptionally long and satisfying. It leaves a lingering warmth of charred oak, leather, and sweet dark fruit.
Food Pairings: Best with high-fat or bold foods like smoked brisket, blue cheese, or dark chocolate to balance the high alcohol heat.
About the brand
Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. is a prestigious line within the Buffalo Trace Distillery portfolio, named after the "Founding Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry." Taylor was a visionary who advocated for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. While most E.H. Taylor expressions are Bottled-in-Bond (100 proof), the Barrel Proof release is the "beast" of the family. It is crafted in small batches using Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill #1 (low rye) and aged in the century-old brick and limestone warehouses Taylor himself built.
