The brown sugar, vanilla frosting, maple syrup, and Luxardo cherry bring on a deeper, decadent sweetness while the stewed apple and raspberry lighten things up a bit. The cinnamon spice is strong and helps cut through the menagerie of sweetness well, and the barrel character from the seasoned oak and light leather add some great structure to each sip. While this doesn’t have the “it” factor that some of the other BTAC’s I’ve tried have showed to really make it a true unicorn, this is still worthy of the BTAC title for me.

The finish lingers and those rye spices come back at the end. That finish is fantastic. With water, the entire sip is even better. It's wonderfully balanced, encapsulating everything you believe a traditional Kentucky bourbon should stand for. It's not as complex as the Stagg, but if 100-110 proof is your go-to range, you will adore this bottle. It's an elevated version of EH Taylor Small Batch, and the additional aging shows how great this mash bill can be when aged for 15 years. Give Harlen Wheatley his props. He innovates. The only question is, can he and his team do it again next year. \"\u003c\/em\u003e - Orlando, Taste Select Repeat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colonel E. H.
