Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Old Fashioned Sour Mash Bourbon is a rare and historically inspired expression that pays homage to 19th-century whiskey-making techniques. Distilled in 2002, this unique bourbon revives a traditional method once used by Colonel Taylor himself, in which the mash is allowed to sour naturally over several days before distillation. This labor-intensive process was rediscovered through stories shared by retired Buffalo Trace distillers and faithfully re-created to honor Taylor’s legacy.
The result is a rich, full-bodied bourbon that stands apart from modern sour mash whiskeys. With its deep complexity and unmistakable old-world character, this limited-edition release is a true tribute to the pioneering spirit of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Rich aromas of dried fruit, leather, and toasted oak, with hints of molasses, vanilla, and baking spice.
-
Palate: Bold and complex, offering flavors of toffee, black pepper, caramelized sugar, and a touch of dark chocolate, supported by a velvety oak backbone.
-
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering spice, toasted grain, and a soft smokiness that reflects the traditional souring process.
Why It’s Special:
This expression revives a near-lost technique from the 1800s, staying true to E.H. Taylor’s innovative practices. The natural souring of the mash results in a bourbon of remarkable depth, texture, and historical authenticity. Bottled in extremely limited quantities, the Old Fashioned Sour Mash is a must-have for collectors, history buffs, and connoisseurs seeking a taste of bourbon’s past reborn.
Perfect Pairing:
Best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate its nuanced layers. Pairs beautifully with charcuterie, pecan pie, or a premium cigar to enhance its rich and rustic profile.
A Taste of Whiskey History:
Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Old Fashioned Sour Mash is more than a bourbon—it’s a revival of American whiskey-making heritage, showcasing the ingenuity and dedication of one of the industry’s founding fathers.
