Buffalo Trace - E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon 130.3 Proof Batch 9 (2020) with original tube
E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon is made with Buffalo Trace’s Mashbill #1 that uses 10% or less rye as its secondary grain. This is the same mashbill that a number of the company’s bourbons use, most notably, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Stagg Jr., and George T. Stagg. Although it doesn’t feature an age statement, it is said to be about the same age as Buffalo Trace Bourbon. Stagg Jr. is believed to be in the range of 8-10 years and George T. Stagg is 12+ years old.
A potent scent of buttered pecans strikes before layers of dark brown sugar, deep tobacco, and thick oak sidle in. The bourbon’s proof is quite evident as it presents a nose-tingling intensity.
You’re greeted with a very hot and grounded flavor profile thanks to its surprisingly soft sweet brown sugar and dark fruit notes. Vanilla bean, heavy oak, and burnt caramel further combine to create a familiar and straightforward flavor profile.
The bourbon’s hotness brings forth a minty menthol, coffee bean, and cinnamon nut aftertaste. Long lasting and rather vigorous at times, E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof doesn’t back down.
