E.H. Taylor Single Barrel 750 ml

E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, drawn one barrel at a time from Warehouse C, the rickhouse Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. built in 1885. It's bottled-in-bond — one distillery, one season, aged at least four years and bottled at exactly 100 proof — on Buffalo Trace's low-rye mash bill. Expect a deep amber color and a rich profile of caramel, vanilla, oak and baking spice, with the barrel-to-barrel variation that comes from single-barrel bottling. It's an allocated release that sells through fast, aimed at drinkers who want Buffalo Trace pedigree without a blend smoothing out the edges.

How to drink E.H. Taylor Single Barrel

Neat is the way to meet a new barrel of this before deciding whether it wants ice; the 100 proof gives it room to open up either way. A Manhattan is fair game if you'd rather not save the whole pour for sipping.
