Gillman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) A 375 ml Taylor 86 proof, with "85" embossed on the base of the old yellow label bottle, surely released in that year as confirmed by the statement on the label of both distillation and bottling in Frankfort.I bought three of these recently in SF, and each is somewhat different although seemingly from the same case. This current one is brandy smooth/buttery/fruity and very complex. A real winner and nothing today really comes close, IMO. I believe it may be more than the stated 6 years old based on the palate intricacy, and also, I seem to recall that the Gran-dad distillery (where Taylor was made after the Castle shut down) was not operating in the years prior to the sale in '87... It might therefore be a mid-70's distillation. On the shelf of a store in SOMA, minding its own business until I spotted it.Gary Edited August 24, 2012 by Gillman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Tried one of my Old Taylor 86s last night. This one was from 88 and while I didn't find it as complex as yours, it was plenty enjoyable. smooth butterscotch candy from start to finish.Tonight it's V17.

BillP Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Really enjoying the ERSB. My local store has such a great deal on the 1.75L that I couldn't resist. Plus it seems the bottle doesn't empty as fast as the smaller ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Went to a dive bar with coworkers after work today. The kind where the beer choices are pretty well limited to bud light or miller lite. Took a peek at the bottles and the only bourbons were Jim Beam White and Maker's. Well, at least the doubles of Maker's served in plastic cups were only $4.00.

HighInTheMtns Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm drinking some High West American Prairie Reserve. I haven't gotten too far into this bottle yet but I am enjoying it so far. For me, the older high-rye juice in the blend shines through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Settling down in the garage for a night of preseason NFL and Braves later on the West coast with a pour of a Single Barrel Bowman 8yr. This bourbon is incredibly drinkable, and lush. No hard edges at all, and with a nuanced sweetness that is just about perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bourbon is incredibly drinkable, and lush. No hard edges at all, and with a nuanced sweetness that is just about perfect.I joined you with the bourbon...a 50/50 mingling of the C barrel and BOTY barrel works best for me...nuanced sweetness is a great description. It reminds me a little of a fanatstic desert wine like a Barsac with even a little raisined taste. Maybe a little longer finish would make it perfect for me. White Sox just pissed away a 6 run lead so I'm not talking sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcg9779 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 A pour of Taylor Tornado and then FR OESF Single Barrel. The mouthfeel of the OESF is rediculous....a terrific bottle of bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
