🥃 Product Description

Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch is a Bottled-in-Bond bourbon crafted in tribute to one of the founding fathers of modern whiskey, Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. Produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, this small batch expression is made from hand-selected barrels, bottled at 100 proof, and aged in century-old brick warehouses that Taylor himself helped build.

Rich in character and steeped in heritage, this bourbon exemplifies balance, complexity, and smoothness — a true nod to 19th-century craftsmanship.

👃 Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep amber-gold with a honeyed hue

• Nose: Sweet caramel and vanilla upfront, followed by notes of dried fruit, lightly charred oak, and a hint of leather

• Palate: Bold yet refined — butterscotch and baking spices evolve into layers of toasted oak, candied citrus peel, and peppered rye

• Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying with lingering hints of cinnamon, pipe tobacco, and sweet grain

🧊 Cocktail Suggestions

Although best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to highlight its complexity, it also performs exceptionally in elevated classics:

• Old Fashioned: 2 oz E.H. Taylor Small Batch, 1 sugar cube, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, orange peel

• Manhattan: 2 oz E.H. Taylor Small Batch, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes bitters, cherry garnish

• Gold Rush: 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz lemon juice, 0.75 oz honey syrup
