Description
General Profile / What It Implies
-
Barrel Proof / Cask Strength: The whiskey is bottled directly from the barrel (or nearly so) without “cutting” (diluting with water down to a lower proof). This means it retains its natural strength.
-
Uncut & Unfiltered: It hasn’t been chill‑filtered (a process often used to remove under‑pelleted oils or haze) and hasn’t been diluted. You often get more oils, texture, and fuller flavor (but also sometimes haze or sediment).
-
Kentucky Straight Bourbon: It meets the legal definition for straight bourbon (aged at least two years, made in the U.S., etc.), and being “Kentucky” means the distillery is in Kentucky or at least the production is (very commonly the case).
-
Series / Batches: This is not a single fixed bottling — each “batch” or “release” in the E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof line has slightly different proof, flavor profile, etc. For example, Batch 13 is bottled at 127.3 proof (63.65 % ABV) and is uncut & unfiltered.

What to Expect / Tasting Notes & Impressions
Based on our reviews and tasting reports of various batches in this line:
-
Nose / Aroma: Big aromas — caramel, vanilla, oak, dark fruit, sometimes nuts, and a bit of spice (clove, cinnamon) are commonly noted.
-
Palate / Flavor: Rich, full‑bodied, bold — expect to taste oak, char, spice, toffee, sometimes dark cherry or dark fruit, sometimes tobacco/leaf notes. The high proof gives a strong presence of alcohol that you may need to tame with a drop or two of water.
-
Finish: Long, warming, lingering oak/spice. Many describe a warming, almost heavy finish, often with echoes of the same flavors from the palate.
-
Heat / Strength: Because it’s “barrel proof,” the alcohol “heat” is front and center. It can be sharp or burning, especially on the nose or first sip; many tasters recommend letting it rest, or adding a few drops of water to let aromas open up
