E. H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain
Description
In 1865, as the United States was beginning to recover from the American Civil War, Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. found himself ready for a new business venture. Having gained profits from trading grains such as corn during the war, Taylor utilized his earnings to purchase a small distillery on the banks of the Kentucky River. His vision was to produce a top-quality whiskey that stood out from others in that era.
Taylor believed that exceptional whiskey could only be crafted using the finest ingredients. His experience selling grains during the war had taught him about the significant variances in grains from different farmers and harvests. The special edition Four Grain bourbon is a reflection of Taylor’s meticulous standards, crafted using high-quality grains.
The distinct combination of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley used in this bourbon creates a unique flavor profile. It is sweet with hints of caramel and vanilla, yet also offers a spicy edge with notes of clove and pepper. After twelve years of aging, this impeccably balanced bourbon truly embodies the character of Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., a man who would accept nothing less than perfection.
