BOTM 1/14: Colonel E H Taylor Small Batch

[Frederico]

In my place, both Small Batch and Single Barrel EH Taylor are selling for same price. I've never tried either. If you had to pick just one, which one and why?

[b1gcountry]

Really? Either the small batch is over priced our that's a good deal on the single barrel!

I am getting really close to the bottom of the bottle, and I have really come to appreciate the quality of this bourbon.  My only regret is I did not buy two of them, and the ones we got in the store and long-gone.

Bought a bottle of CEHT SmB for the first time about 3 months ago. I liked it so much that I went back a week later and bought two more bottles to make sure I wouldn't run out if there were any shortages. This is good stuff!

Hhhhmm.  Wife found my bunkered CEHT SmB behind the dining room door today.  Guess I better open it so it can stay in the dining room.  Rule is: only open bottles can stay "out".

[emoji23] That's better than my wife's rules. The only bottles allowed in view are the taller bottles that won't fit inside the bar cabinet, and then that's limited to around a dozen without her giving me grief. Of course that does mean that any open bottle of CEHT gets to sit out. [emoji106] My unopened tall bottles and bunkered bottles are in "my" spare closet.

I bought a bottle of JDSB Barrel Proof recently because I wanted to try it, but also because a friend, who is a JD fan, was coming over and I wanted him to be able to try it. I poured us each a glass and we had a few sips over the course of conversation, then he leaned over and asked sheepishly, "Could I get some ice for this? It's how I usually drink it." I told him he should have asked for it up front and to ALWAYS drink it how you like it! I commend people for stepping outside their comfort zones but never condemn them for drinking whiskey the way they like it!

I tried JDSB Barrel Proof at a random restaurant on a bartenders suggestion and surprisingly loved it! I know it is not technically bourbon but it was good to me.

 

On another note, takes on EH Taylor Small batch vs Single Barrel? Is it worth the extra $25 ish dollars?

That's really not a fair and objective evaluation. Everything tastes better around a camp fire. So, you'll just have to get together with your brother at a more neutral site and repeat the experiment.
