Bourbon to make old Colonel Taylor proud.

Taylor Bourbon was originally made by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor just after the Civil War when he got out of the army and purchased the O.F.C Distillery. Today, the line of Taylor Bourbons are owned by the Sazerac Company and Distilled in their famous Buffalo Trace facility. But make no mistake, this is one of their premium brands and they cut no corners. 

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor was one of the founding fathers of modern Bourbon. So if you are going to name a product after the man, you better be prepared to stand up and represent. And this fine Bourbon does not disappoint.

At every point, this Bourbon is made by hand. And each cask is heavily scrutinized — only the best are selected to wear the Taylor badge.

E.H Taylor Small Batch Bourbon + Jas Sum Kral Red Knight Toro
Jas Sum Kral is probably one of our favourite boutique brands. The Red Knight Toro is a big, bold, pepper bomb. When paired with the E.H. Small Batch Bourbon, its combination of vanilla and dried raisin sugar, with charred oak, shines  through the most. A full proof Bourbon adores a full-bodied cigar!

Member Reviews and Ratings of Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
Aaron
Aaron,
I've tried so many bourbons, and EH Taylor remains my all time #1 pick. It is just perfect for me. Buffalo Trace simply cannot make a bad whiskey if they tried, and this takes the cake. Much prefer it over Blanton's which is too smooth IMO. Trouble is a lot of ppl must agree with me because it's so hard to find...
 
guest
guest,
One of my favorites, like Candy corn, cinnamon
 
Evan
Evan,
This is a wonderful Bourbon!
 
Troy
Troy,
Right from the first pour you know you are in for something good. An enticing aroma and an incredible solid flavor profile. Everything about it just works and there is none of the 100 proof burn you might expect. For the price, this is an amazing bottle and one to pick up whenever seen.
 
Alex
Alex,
A must try! An excellent bourbon that isn’t accompanied with a triple digit price tag. The spice and sweet combination come together in harmony with the subtle tones of vanilla
 
Melissa
Melissa,
Fantastic. One of my favorites. Complex layered taste
 
Shaun
Shaun,
My favorite bourbon. Has a great complexity to it. Nice full flavor of vanilla and butterscotch with a spicy cinnamon finish.
 
Gary
Gary,
Smooth and nice butterscotch smell
 
Amelia
Amelia,
Vanilla bomb that has ripe pineapple on the nose. One of the best aromas. Medium finish with adequate warmth
 
Sean
Sean,
What's not to like about this Bourbon? It goes down WAY TOO smoothly. Used my first set of credits on this, so really hard to beat paying ~$6 for a hard-to-find bottle (at least in my area) that is simply fantastic. Nice, buttery caramel and vanilla flavor. Mild burn going down, but oh-so-good! I *might* pour this over a whiskey cube, but otherwise this is going to be a good, neat 3-fingered pour for me every time!
 
Chad
Chad,
Very smooth and easy to drink. Good flavor but not overwhelming.
 
James
James,
I get more honey and vanilla with some spice. A very waxy coat of the mouth and a lite burn on the back end.
 
Greg
Greg,
Other great bourbon from Buffalo Trace
 
Nick
Nick,
Having not yet found it in the wild and having $15 in credits to my favorite online liquor retailer, I could not pass up the chance to pick up Colonel E.H. Taylor's Small Batch Bottled In Bond Bourbon. It arrived today via FedEx and after quickly unwrapping it, I cradled it in my arms and looked upon it like a newborn baby. It was precious. I poured it neat into my Glencairn glass and inhaled the heavenly aromas therein. My first thought was that it smelled wonderful and my second thought was that it smelled different than the other bourbons I had experienced so far. At 100 proof, there is certainly an alcohol punch, but it is brief and carries faint floral notes. There is a warm, bready aroma, vanilla, cherry and other stone fruits, chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch. The nose is sweet, complex, and luxurious. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth and the palate is spicy and sweet with the stone fruits, caramel, and vanilla stepping out upfront and cinnamon in the back. The finish is warm and long-lasting with vanilla, oak, and leather and the tingle of black pepper to keep you on your toes. I'm not here to tell you how to enjoy your bourbon, so drink it how you like, but for me, this is a smooth sipping whiskey, plain and simple.
 
Harry
Harry,
This is a very good bourbon. Starts a little hot and spicy and finishes smooth. An ice cube or two really releases the flavor and takes the hot away. This is one of my favorite bourbons.
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
This bourbon is quite heavy on the spice and has a fairly strong burn to it. However, the burn smooths out over time and the sweetness begins to really play off the spiciness nicely.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Bitter vanilla
 
Mark
Mark,
However you enjoy Bourbon you'll love this one. Flavor forward, sweet, and balanced. The small batch gives that shoulder shuddering (in a good way) burn late. So good.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
Well worth it being my first drink in 3 weeks!
 
Sam
Sam,
the EH Taylor series is one of my favorite lines of Whiskey and as difficult as it is to find these days I'd recommend grabbing a bottle if you see it.

My favorite bourbon, hands down. Smooth, sweet, savory, but will knock you down if you disrespect.
 
Steven
Steven,
This is a value buy and a definite go-to bourbon. Very smooth and like caramel on the tongue. Love the finish with this one.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
This is an amazing whiskey, it’s not too spicy. It’s very smooth and one of my favorites.
 
Rachel
Rachel,
Has a real burn at the end that I wasn’t expecting. It isn’t a bad bourbon, but not as smooth as I was expecting based off the flavor profile.
 
Vincent
Vincent,
good bourbon, a sweet corn taste with cinnamon and perhaps allspice?
 
Willie
Willie,
Great, well crafted smooth Bourbon!! One of my favorites!!

Damn good bourbon.

Derek
Derek,
As always, another great product from the BT distillery. Nice balance between sweet and spice. Good linger and complexity.
 
Alex
Alex,
An amazing bottle, I seriously can not recommend this stuff enough. One sip and I had to take my buddy to my favorite shop to purchase one himself. This stuff is very hard to find. You have to try it. Worth every penny.
 
Holly
Holly,
This is such a well rounded bourbon. It goes down smooth and has a wonderful finish.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
I would seek, buy, and enjoy this bourbon any day over Blanton's. I think this is one fine bourbon. Creamy, spicy, sweet, and the "bottled-in-bond" 50% ABV makes it ballsier than Blaton's (which is too smooth IMO) and hits all the right buttons for me. I was lucky enough to find this in stock here a couple weeks ago and stocked up!
 
Jeramy
Jeramy,
This is about as good as bourbon gets. Buries other whiskeys in its price point.
Aaron
Aaron,
Agree!
Daniel
Daniel,
I wasn't overly impressed with the first few tastings; thinking that it was similar to Woodford Reserve, but pricier. I have watched reviewers say that this one is an acquired taste; not everyone will appreciate it. Some nuance of burnt brown sugar kept haunting me after that first bottle; and I found myself over-anxious to try another bottle. I have since realized that I have to taste something several times to properly evaluate; because my taste buds work differently on different days. This has become my second favorite bourbon after Blanton's. I can appreciate that I have two dissimilar bourbons as favorites. Now my top favorite is becoming very scarce. But even harder to find than Blantons, now, is C.T. Single Barrel! In 2017 I could get both for $65 after tax. In 2018 they were a rare sight and my go-to store wants $109 after tax for the C.T. Single Barrel. It went up $44 in 10 months time; and it's still nearly impossible to find. The small batch seems to be quite the bargain nowadays!
 
Blair
Blair,
Like it, would not go out of my way to buy it though. Every bit of 100 proof and doesn't try to hide it.
 
Allyn
Allyn,
Amazing neat or on the rocks. Smooth criminal with hint of cinnamon. Highly recommended
 
Zach
Zach,
Really like this one...over time of getting some air in the bottle, its really opened up and turned into one I can drink any time. Highly suggest.
 
guest
guest,
Good flavor but a lot of alcohol on the nose for only being 100 proof. Not bad, but expected it to be smoother for the money.
 
Art
Art,
Amazing! Had to look high and low for this one, but it was worth the search!
 
guest
guest,
Love it. Really smooth and easy on the tongue. A must have for any Bourbon lover.
 
Chris
Chris,
Smooth, sweet with nice cinnamon notes. Leathery quality is just right.
 
guest
guest,
Definitely a sipping whiskey. It smells like caramel and butterscotch. Let it sit for a minute or two after pouring, then sip by doing a slurping-type sip to aerate the whiskey as it enters your mouth. You’ll really get the sweetness on the tip of your tongue, followed quickly by the spicy, peppery, cinnamon flavors on the back.
 
Greg
Greg,
Finally got a bottle and wow am I impressed. Spice, caramel, vanilla, and sugar notes come through. Smooth going down and a nice finish that is slightly velvety.
 
George
George,
I am new to this gem and boy is it impressive. So complex with a myriad of flavors through the draw. Smooth for 100 proof and gives the perfect amount of burn with a surprisingly smooth finish. Has to be one of the best that I own.
 
Alan
Alan,

Ken,
Wow! Smooth. Nice burn to start, finishes smooth. Very good.

Booze Forward, Long Finish, Complex and Delicious. Too much booze on the nose for some, but clearly made with high quality standards. If you've had this, try the Four Grain!

The hole line of eh taylor is great right down to the small batch. I personally like the small batch better than the single barrel but again in new york they are gauging the price on this.

I like sweeter... This wasn’t too sweet and the flavor spiral was right on... Overall a good bourbon and not TOO pricey... There are better ones out there for the money -but I do not by any means regret the purchase.

Warm. Floral. Sweet. Apricot. Hint of cinnamon. Medium finish without too much heat. Perfectly encompasses what barreled in bond should taste like. The single barrel is even better! Enjoy this neat.
 
guest

Tasty... not really smoky. Really smooth and doesn't leave an "after taste" for lack of better term. Very smooth going down. I'll buy this for sure and add it to the collection.
 
guest

Incredible. Caught butterscotch and caramel apple with some spice on the nose. Delicious. Enjoyed with an ice ball to slowly release the flavor.

Scent of green apple. Spice at the front of the tounge. Smooth in mouth but hits a bit in the stomach.
