About this bottle
Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof is a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled uncut and unfiltered, straight from the barrel. Buffalo Trace draws it from Mash Bill #1, the low-rye recipe, and every batch lands over 125 proof, so strength shifts bottle to bottle by design. The aroma opens on cooked berries and caramel with a floral edge; the palate turns bold and spicy, all toasty vanilla, dried oak, and black pepper. A long, rye-driven finish carries lingering fruit. This is a benchmark barrel-proof pour and an allocation staple that moves quickly when it hits shelves. Cut it with a few drops of water to open the fruit, or drink it neat and let the proof do the talking.
How to drink Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof
Because proof varies by batch, add water gradually and taste as you go rather than following a fixed ratio. It also makes an excellent base for a barrel-proof Manhattan for drinkers willing to share an allocated bottle.
