The Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

History pours from this bottle. Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch honors the Bottled-in-Bond tradition with uncompromising craft and steady 100-proof backbone. It’s a careful mingling of hand-selected barrels, delivering classic Kentucky character without losing grace. Aromas dance from the glass—caramel, citrus oil, vanilla cream, and seasoned oak—with rye sparkle flickering underneath. The sip lands plush, then tightens around toasted oak, honeyed corn, orchard fruit, and a ribbon of baking spice that feels confidently composed. Big flavor; balanced soul. Add a splash of water and watch subtle florals bloom while the finish turns silkier and beautifully persistent.

Nose: Caramel and vanilla glide in, with citrus zest, light florals, and seasoned oak.

Palate: Honeyed corn, orchard fruit, toffee, and rye-tinged spice over toasted oak and soft leather.

Finish: Long and warming; caramel, orange peel, clove, and gentle oak linger with elegant restraint.

Start bold. Pepper-crusted ribeye echoes the oak and spice in satisfying harmony. For contrast, try aged Gouda or clothbound cheddar; the nuttiness sharpens the caramel core. Sweet finish? Pecan pie or crème brûlée mirrors the bourbon’s vanilla-toffee richness while letting that citrus note pop.
