Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bottled in Bond (100 Proof)
100 proof 4+ years Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $600–$700 (secondary market) Corn primary; wheat, rye, and malted barley secondary grains
Nose

Caramel waft without overpowering sweetness; oaky spice; Belgian waffle with confectioners sugar and maple syrup notes; slight mint.

Palate

Amazing barrel character with barrel spice and oak; soft sweetness upfront from wheat; bourbon ball flavor reminiscent of Rebecca Ruth candies; Big League Chewing Gum powdery sweetness (cornstarch); slight bitterness or tannin on the tail end.

Finish

Dry candy and tannin character with lingering barrel complexity.

Really good
A legendary bottled-in-bond expression with exceptional barrel maturity, elegant four-grain balance, and complex layered notes that justify its legendary status and scarcity.
