One sip brings flavors of sweetness balanced with tobacco and dark spices. The aroma carries lightly toasted oak, with dried figs and butterscotch. Reviews 157-158: EH Taylor Barrel Proof and Single Barrel Age: NAS Abv: 129.3 proof Price: 89.99 NCF: Yes Nose: A powerful but inviting. Each barrel is hand-picked and Bottled in Bond at 100 proof to respect its namesake. Single Barrel is matured only in Warehouse C, which was worked by Taylor in 1881 and turned out to be a magnificent maturing distribution center. Amid his chance, Taylor actualized a few creative techniques still utilized today, including atmosphere controlled maturing distribution centers. ![]() is generally viewed as one of the establishing fathers of the whiskey business, battling for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, about three decades after he acquired what is currently called Buffalo Trace Distillery.

All that said I’ll probably pick another one up at some point chasing those honey barrels. ![]() Given the price, scarcity and variance on the Single Barrels I don’t think they are a good value proposition and I’d recommend grabbing the Small Batch over it to most folks. I’ve had some amazing EHT SiB but unfortunately this barrel was just ‘good’. I prefer my current bottle of Blanton’s to both of these and they are on par to slightly better than the bottle of Eagle Rare I have right now. Somewhat oddly this SiB did not have nearly as much vanilla as I usually get from EHT. To compare the two this SiB was a bit better but not by much and definitely not by enough to justify the price increase. After drinking the EHT Small Batch alongside the Dickel BiB I realized that the Dickel wasn’t going to have a long term place on my shelf as long as EHT was easy enough to find. Single Barrel is matured only in Warehouse C, which was worked by Taylor in 1881 and turned out to be a magnificent maturing distribution center. EH Taylor comes in a few different versions (small batch, single barrel, barrel proof, and more) that are quickly snatched up left and right. I’m a fan of the Buffalo Trace profile and a higher quality, higher proof release at a good price is hard to argue with. EH Taylor Small Batch is a Buffalo Trace product made from the very popular Mash 1, also used for bourbons such as Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare 10, and Stagg Jr. These were both very good and handily beat out the rest of the bottled in bond bourbons in this series. ![]() Taste: Oak, vanilla, caramel, cherry, slightly thinner mouthfeel than the SiB but still niceįinish: Short to medium length sweet with cherry, oak and vanilla Conclusion Taste: Caramel and oak dominate with faint spice notes, and a very nice mouthfeelįinish: Short to medium finish sweet with mostly caramel and a little oak and warm spice 2017 Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch Nose:Sweet vanilla, caramel, a touch of citrus and hint of oak But we’re not here to muse on the Buffalo Trace line up so let’s taste some whiskey and see how they stack up against the rest of the bottled in bond drinker lineup! 2018 Colonel EH Taylor Single BarrelĪge: NAS but 4+ years from Bottled in Bond In a world where Blanton’s and Eagle Rare are getting harder to find EHT Small Batch is still pretty reliably available at retailish prices here in Austin. As far as I know the EHT lineup are Buffalo Trace’s only bottled in bond offerings, other than the EHT barrel proof of course. After drinking my way through a number of sub $40 bottled in bond bourbon we’ll come to the end of the line with EH Taylor Small Batch and compare it side by side with it’s more expensive Single Barrel expression.
