Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey

Appearance: Deep amber, reminiscent of polished mahogany, with glints of fiery copper, hinting at the intensity within. Nose: Dive into a rich tapestry of aromas, where waves of caramelized sugar and toasted oak intertwine with hints of vanilla bean and dark chocolate. Subtle notes of leather and tobacco add depth, while a touch of dried fruit lingers in the background, promising a complex and satisfying experience. Palate: Brace yourself for a bold and robust flavor profile. The first sip envelops the palate in a symphony of flavors, with layers of rich toffee, decadent cocoa, and espresso beans dancing across the tongue. Warm spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, mingle with hints of dried figs and dates, creating a sensation of depth and complexity that evolves with each sip. Finish: The journey culminates in a long and lingering finish, where the intensity of the bourbon's proof is balanced by a velvety smoothness that coats the throat. Echoes of charred oak and caramelized sugar linger on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of the Colonel's bold and uncompromising spirit.

These bourbon distillation rounds boost the alcohol content of the liquid and remove the mash and other impurities.Distilling started here in 1755 though the oldest remaining building on the site dates back to 1792. It claims to be the oldest continuously-operating distillery in the USA, and it remained open during Prohibition as it was allowed to make that popular product known as 'medicinal whiskey'.
Introduced in 1984, Blanton's pioneered the concept of a single-barrel whiskey as a core product line. The brand was the brainchild of Elmer T. Lee, who was tasked with creating a bourbon that would change the perception of American whiskey from a working man's spirit to a high-end, high-price collectible.It is aged in one barrel, and unlike most others, never blended with any other bourbon. When a barrel is believed to have reached its optimum age, it is evaluated by the Master Distiller and a panel of professional tasters. Barrel No. 23 / Rick No. 20.
