Colonel E. H. Taylor Jr. Old Fashioned Sour Mash Bourbon Whiskey Review

Bourbon: Colonel E. H. Taylor Jr. Old Fashioned Sour Mash Bourbon

Distillery: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky

Age: 9 years old

Proof: 100 Proof, 50% ABV

Color: Medium to deep amber

Nose: Heavy oak rounded with sugary aroma

Taste: A serious, full flavor that has the DNA of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, but also offers notes that can’t be found in any of these. Rich cinnamon, apricots, large bites of the best of the sweet and the best of the oak. If a glass of “Bold Bourbon Pie” existed, this could be it.

Finish: Luscious, smooth, and satisfying.
