E. H Taylor Jr. Small Batch 100 proof (750ml)

Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, this small batch bottling carries the E.H. Taylor Jr. name, a nod to one of the figures tied to the history of the distillery grounds in Frankfort. It is a straightforward expression of the category: corn-forward, aged in charred new oak, and drawn from a selection of barrels bottled at 100 proof.

Expect the familiar bourbon signatures of caramel and vanilla, with the oak framing giving a spine of baking spice and a warm, dry finish. It has enough weight to sip neat or over a single large cube, and it holds its shape in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan where the sweetness and spice can carry through the drink.
