Review: EH Taylor Single Barrel (Oct. 15 2024 bottling)

I’m not even positive I’m making out the number on this one accurately, but I think it’s Oct. 15, 2024. Around that time - late 2024 and early 2025, these were hard to come by. I found a couple at MSRP sometime around Christmas 2025 so I bought two just not being sure I’d ever see them again.

I reviewed the other one alongside some other 100 proof ~ single barrels but this one does seem to taste a bit different from the other bottle.

Age: NAS (typically these are 7-10 years old, so barreled around 2014-2017)

ABV: 50%

Warehouse C.

Mash bill: low rye/undisclosed

Nose: Caramel and light ethanol on first pass. There’s a lot of caramel on second pass with some light oak. Maybe a faint cherry note that I didn’t find in the last barrel.

Palate: Full bodied. Werthers original. Maple syrup. Light flecks of pepper. I get some figs on this one, too.

Finish: lighter than my favorite drams. The caramel and maple give way to wood influence. The fruit flavors evolve into just a bit of cinnamon.

7.9/10

Great bottle!

Tasting club bottle kill

We had a share in a club tasting that resulted in a kill. My understanding is that this distillery shut down? Our member said they bought several cases because they love it so much. Bit too sweet for me. I'm glad I was able to sample it.

This one always delivers

Pouring some Mitcher's barrel strength rye on this Sunday. This is definitely my favorite bottle in the mitcher's lineup. At 111 proof its a nice easy sipper. Cheers everyone 🥃🥃

What's everyone pouring?

Happy Sunday 😎

Has anyone else completely changed the way they discover new whiskies?

I was looking at my whisky shelf the other day and realized something. For years I would just buy a whole bottle if someone recommended it or if it had good ratings or even if the label looked interesting. Sometimes it worked out but lots of times I ended up with something expensive that I did not really enjoy.

A few months back I started trying smaller pours instead and tasting flights. It lets me compare different kinds like scotch and bourbon next to each other. That has been better for me. I notice more about the smell and taste and how the barrels affect it and the differences from various places.

This way I get to try more without buying big bottles right away. It seems like I find things I like that I might have missed before. I think the discovery part is what makes it fun now. Maybe some people still prefer getting full bottles each time but samples have helped me avoid stuff that does not work.

Not sure how other people do it though.

Ok this is just getting ridiculous. This is just what I grabbed.

What I passed on Weller “Orange” Single Barrel, EHT Barrel Proof 127.3 (only because I have two & found it lacking), standard Blanton’s, & Eagle Rare. Before you ask this was the Four Corners Area Sam’s Club. New distributor was just putting them out.

My first Rare Character

I picked this up today for $107. It's my first rare character bottle. It's 108.74 proof and has a 9yr and 10 month age statement. This one tastes like cherry vanilla coke and has some syrup notes as well. It reminds me or the cola flavor candies that come in the little plastic bottle you have to crack open. Cheers
