Inside Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Barrel Proof

Bourbon aged in new charred oak commonly leans toward caramel and vanilla. Notably, expect the warm oak character that defines the American whiskey shelf. Wood sugars from the barrel shape much of the flavour you find. In other words, oak tannin gives the finish structure rather than sharp edges. Therefore, Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Barrel Proof suits a pour you are in no rush to finish.

What to Pair It With

Caramel desserts echo the barrel character without competing. Of course, pecan pie and dark chocolate work beautifully alongside the glass. A housewarming gift rarely lands better than a respected pour. By comparison, bacon wrapped appetisers pair neatly with a bourbon nightcap. Fathers Day shoppers return to American whiskey year after year. Equally, pair it with Colonel E H Taylor Small Batch for a side by side tasting.

The Story Behind Bourbon

Straight bourbon spends a minimum of two years in the barrel. Even so, American distillers built this category on corn, oak and patience. Barrel entry proof and warehouse position both shape the final liquid. Moreover, corn leads the mashbill, so the spirit arrives with natural sweetness. Kentucky remains the heartland of American whiskey production. For example, browse the wider bourbon whiskey collection to compare styles.

Getting the Best from Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Barrel Proof

Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Barrel Proof asks for nothing complicated at the pour. Give the glass a minute to rest before the first sip. Indeed, a Glencairn glass concentrates aroma better than a tumbler. A large ice cube slows dilution and keeps the pour cold. In turn, store the bottle upright and away from direct sunlight. In practice, Colonel E H Taylor Straight Rye makes a natural next bottle.
