There’s no argument that E.H. Taylor is considered the father of the bourbon industry in the U.S. Buffalo Trace honors his legacy with this small bath bourbon whiskey. You’ll find notes of citrus, brown sugar, caramel, resin and browned butter with back notes of crème brûlée, honeysuckle, mild tobacco and turbano-chocolate. It carries a mild heat that’s noticeable on the entry and in the mid palate. Interestingly, the viscosity carries a slight graininess to it, not a flaw, just something different than other iterations. Though this is highly prized, it’s a solid bourbon, well crafted, but not a stand out in the bourbon world. 91
