Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof 2018 (~129.7 proof, Buffalo Trace)
129.7 proof Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY

Explosive apple cinnamon pie with fresh corn sweetness and dark fruit notes. Cinnamon is bold and assertive. Apple and spice dominate, creating a baking spice profile reminiscent of grandma's kitchen window with pie cooling in the sink.

Spectacular mid-palate impact of baking spices, cayenne-laced heat, and apple cinnamon. Fresh mash sweetness runs alongside deep vanilla. The rye spice is exceptionally prominent, covering the entire palate with a peppery kick. Dark fruit (cherry) emerges beneath the spice.

Extraordinarily long and lingering with rye spice that refuses to fade. Toasted pecan notes develop alongside warm oak. The finish maintains sweetness despite the heat, with cinnamon and spice hanging on the sides of the tongue. Heat is present but not harsh, enveloped by the bourbon's complex sweetness.

Impressive
A powerfully flavored barrel-proof bourbon that delivers remarkable depth of flavor and an exceptional finish despite its high proof.
