Review #1444 – Colonel E.H Taylor Amaranth Grain of the Gods

This is an interesting entry in the Limited Edition release line of E.H.Taylor bourbon. Replacing rye with amaranth in the mashbill one formula, this promises to be, at the very least, interesting. Let’s dive in.

Review #1444 | Bourbon Review #629

Distiller: Buffalo Trace

Bottler: Buffalo Trace

Brand: Buffalo Trace

Selection: N/A

ABV: 50% ABV

Age: NAS

Nose: Sweet toffee, oatmeal, musty caramel. Rich vanilla, some faint fruits, plums, lavender, perfumey.

Taste: Medium mouth feel – astringent and hot, however. Malty, perfume-y and floral. Slightly bitter. Not a lot great here.

Finish: Short, a bit hot. Cocoa, lavender, coriander, vanilla, faint orange peel.

Overall: This is bizarre and all over the place. I can’t say I’m a fan.

Thanks for reading!
