mosugoji64 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Had the opportunity to try some of the Tornado today and ended up walking out with a bottle. It had a wonderful floral character that hooked me. I expected a greater similarity to other BT products, but it is substantially different and in a good way. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I highly recommend giving it a try if you have the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershmeister Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I love a bourbon that has a story to tell. Moreover, as a self-proclaimed top shelf chick, the allure of the price tag peaked my interest. So last night, I decided to have a taste of the infamous Colonel E.H.Taylor Warehouse C Tornado Survivor. After the first swallow, I dubbed it “The Cowboy". Imagine if you will, a buckaroo swaggering into the bar wearing weathered boots and a bandana. A dribble from a tobacco “chaw” lazily flows down his chin. He surveys the room, draws his six-shooter but alas, is only firing blanks. Beware of the bullet holes that he will leave in your taste buds. The only thing this wrangler will lasso is your wallet. Not a fan. Send me your bottle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BourbonBaron Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 How did you get so many and who do I need to call to make that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Augh! Well, I picked up the bottle that was waiting for me...and no tornado survival. It seems to be labeled 'Single Barrel'. I would have liked to try the Tornado version. Is the Single Barrel expression any good? I only paid 50 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky480 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Is the Single Barrel expression any good? I only paid 50 for it.Unfortunately, this question will probably have as many answers as there were single barrels were used to produce this version of E.H. Taylor. There's no indication on the bottle of which barrel a particular bottle came from, so I suspect there's a bit of variability in this version. The one single barrel I've tried was pretty flat and is the weakest of the three releases IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this info is removed to save money/time in production or just to create mystique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourboncc Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Had my first taste of the Tornado last night, and it was mighty fine. I will report back further as I drink more of it. Definitely a bit brash, but I like that in a bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_elliott Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I got two bottles of the Tornado in the mail on Friday haven't tried it yet. Bmac I think the Single Barrel is very good but it's a SB some are better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Bmac I think the Single Barrel is very good but it's a SB some are better than others. Quite agree! I was really surprised by it. For once I think I got lucky and I have a good barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just to update, I did finally get my tornado bottle.For those who live in or near the Dallas area, I know a place that has 3 more Single Barrel expressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonGuy Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I picked up two bottles, and at $62.36 per bottle, plus tax, E. H. Taylor Jr. Warehouse C and two for Peppi last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor22 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 After sampling them I passed on the previous two but picked up three of the Tornado's. If I could afford it I would bunker more. Love the balance between the thick sweetness and the bite from the wood. For me it's an anytime pour that is entertaining and delicious.You get the feeling that it came out of the barrels just in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
