Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is a limited edition under the Colonel E.H. Taylor label, selected by the Distiller's Council in tribute to Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. The barrels were chosen for balance, depth and complexity, and it shows in the glass. The nose brings caramel, toasted oak and dried apricot, and the palate follows with butterscotch, spiced apple, leather and dark vanilla over sweet grain and oak char. The finish runs long and warming, with cracked pepper, tobacco leaf and brown sugar. It is built for sipping, so it suits the collector rounding out a Taylor shelf or the enthusiast who wants a special pour to share slowly with friends. Newer bourbon drinkers will find plenty to enjoy, though its layers reward some familiarity with the style. We carry it because it pairs a classic corn-dominant Kentucky profile with Bottled-in-Bond credentials, and it belongs at milestone gatherings, not just on a display shelf.
Pairs well with
- Roasted duck — The bourbon's leather, tobacco and oak char stand up to rich, savory duck, while its dried apricot note echoes classic fruit-based sauces.
- Classic pecan pie — Butterscotch, brown sugar and dark vanilla in the glass mirror the pie's caramelized filling, and the cracked pepper on the finish keeps it from feeling too sweet.
- Milestone celebration toast — A long, warming finish and layered caramel-and-spice character make it a pour worth lingering over when marking a special moment.
