Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof
120+ proof 6–8 years Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $80

Dark cherry, cinnamon, brown sugar, walnuts, and rick house character. Butterscotch and maple syrup notes. Caramel-forward with complexity.

Burst of flavor with rich caramel up front and bold rye spice. Peppery and hot on entry. Tobacco leaf emerges on the back end. Proof is assertive but not off-putting. Oak is present but balanced, not overpowering.

Tobacco and spice linger. Long, warming finish that sticks with the palate and invites continued analysis.

Remarkable
A complex, spice-driven barrel proof with excellent balance between proof, oak, and fruit—a beautiful expression that rewards careful sipping.
