I’ve had batch 8&9 and it’s the only bourbon Ive had that I thought was too hot. Couldn’t get much out of it except ethanol burn. I really like the EHT BiB too.
Living in Ohio, you're lucky to find any allocated stuff, let alone from Buffalo Trace. BUT, I was extremely happy to go into my local Kroger and they just received EH Taylor small batch. For $45, it's pretty good. I wouldn't pay secondary for it though.
A little tip from the Single Malt world, if it's too hot, try adding a little spring water and tone it down some. Just bulling your way through at cask strength gets old. Cheers, fellas!
I hunted this bottle HARD. I had leads on several bottles but all of it was allocated in Houston. I didn't get one and I had to have one. I just picked one up on secondary at $425 while the market is flooded after the giant specs drop on Jan 30.
thanks guys! making me feel better. i missed a email from my local store by about an hour for one of these at retail and it was gone by the time i replied. hoping my entry for John J Bowman CS comes back as a score in the lottery.
Damn!! This was my lotto win from 2022. I had spent 3 years on a waitlist to finally get the call from the store and got this one. Oh well. Thems the breaks. At least I got it at retail. Hopefully I like it.
David, you don't have a trash palate, just go with your first tasting instincts. I always thought the Taylor barrel proof was so hot and spicy, it was almost unpleasant to drink.
They’re stupid expensive now (like 5k plus ugh…), but the first couple batches of this are insanely good compared to the current ones, which I still love
I thought EHTaylor bp was 4-6 year… wouldn’t 8-9 year be stagg jr? Same mash bill just different ages I thought…. Taylor is younger stagg jr is older…. At least that’s what I always thought, based on my information.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen this bottle of EH Taylor barrel proof! But I had to pass on it at $700.00 😢😮 So I’m depending on you to tell me what I’ve missed.
Great review gents...happy holidays!

Bro Ohio is the honey pot for BT. You think it’s bad here other states are complete garbage for prices or availability
Nice review! Im hoping to get one of these at some point.

Great review, hope these will hit Colorado at some point.
Great review guys
I want a bottle of EHT barrel proof so bad!!!
Finally a review for batch 11
I liked it, but I'm not a professional

Here’s to hoping. Road trip to Virginia seems like a good idea
Love to get another John J Bowman ❤

Yeah everyone's palate is different. Give it a try and let us know!
What is top secondary price to pay for barrel proof?
Here in Chicago people are asking 400-600 😬😬😬
You can just pour the almost empty bottle into the other and toss the empty, then you have a topped off bottle.

Uhhh they are 500-600 secondary for the Taylor barrel proof… just bought a batch 9 and 10 for $1,000 for both out the door.
@@jakedobbs9962 I said the first couple batches. Like batch 1 and batch 2.
