Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was ready to embark on a new business venture, having profited from the trading of grains such as corn during the war. Taylor purchased a small distillery on the banks of the Kentucky River with a vision of producing top quality whiskey distinguished from all others of that time. Taylor knew exceptional whiskey could only be crafted by using the finest ingredients, and his time selling grains during the war taught him that grains often varied tremendously from different farmers and harvests. This special edition Four Grain bourbon is crafted just as Taylor would have wanted. Using the highest quality grains and a distinct combination of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley, to create a flavor that is sweet with hints of caramel and vanilla, yet spicy with notes of clove and pepper. After twelve years of aging, this impeccably balanced bourbon embodies the character of the man that would expect no less.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\\r\\n\"}}'\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"74\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"74\"\u003eColonel E.H.

Taylor, Jr. Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 2017 Release 750mL is the original release of one of the most distinctive modern bottlings in the E.H. Taylor lineup. Released in 2017 as a Bottled in Bond bourbon, it was built around a four grain recipe using corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley rather than Buffalo Trace’s more familiar rye-forward or wheated formulas. Buffalo Trace positioned the whiskey as a special edition crafted with a grain combination that delivers sweetness, spice, and balance in a different way than the rest of the lineup, and contemporary coverage identified it as a 12-year-old small batch bourbon. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"1688\"\u003eWhat makes this bottle especially compelling is its place in the history of the brand. As the first Four Grain release, it introduced a new mash bill concept into the Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. collection and quickly became a highly sought-after limited bottle among collectors. The profile is generally described as sweeter and more rounded than many standard Buffalo Trace releases, but still structured by Bottled in Bond proof and the distillery’s polished house style. For shoppers searching for Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 2017 Release 750mL, limited E.H. Taylor bourbon, or collectible Bottled in Bond whiskey, this is one of the more notable special releases from the modern era of Buffalo Trace. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1af0bw4\" data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1776\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e caramel, vanilla, and a soft fruit-forward sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"108xjj1\" data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"1865\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1779\" data-end=\"1790\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e caramel corn, sweet vanilla, light red fruit, and a rounded bourbon core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"a8mee0\" data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1947\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1868\" data-end=\"1883\"\u003eMid-palate:\u003c\/strong\u003e balanced grain interplay with gentle oak and controlled spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"gbfya9\" data-start=\"1948\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"1961\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e polished and steady with light oak, soft rye spice, and a composed Bottled in Bond close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2054\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2054\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2532\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rk3v0x\" data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2162\"\u003eOriginal 2017 release of Colonel E.H.
