Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bourbon (75cl, 50%)

Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch is a bottled-in-bond Kentucky straight bourbon at 50% ABV (100 proof), in a 75cl bottle. It belongs to Buffalo Trace's line honouring Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., the 19th-century distiller who championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. It was distilled at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort from the distillery's low-rye Mash Bill #1, aged in century-old warehouses built by Taylor, and blended from selected barrels. The nose offers caramel corn, butterscotch and liquorice. The mouthfeel is soft and rounded, and the finish turns to pepper and tobacco.
