Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bottled in Bond (100 proof)
100 proof 4+ years Bourbon Buffalo Trace Four grain (corn, wheat, rye, malted barley)

Beautiful nose without overpowering sweetness. Nice caramel waft with oaky spice characteristic of E.H. Taylor. Belgian waffle with confectioners sugar and syrup. Subtle mint note (double mint quality) layered on top of caramel sweetness.

Amazing character from barrel with pronounced barrel notes beyond just oak—true barrel spice evident. Soft sweetness up front from wheat. Bourbon ball flavor (Rebecca Ruth candies) with chocolate and bourbon notes. Big League Chewing Gum powdery sweetness note. Slight bitterness or tannin on the tail end that complements rather than detracts.

Dry powdery finish with lingering barrel spice and tannins that remain pleasant rather than harsh.

Top notch
A legendary four-grain bottled-in-bond bourbon that showcases impressive barrel integration and multi-layered complexity at standard proof.
