![]() Colonel EH Taylor / Single Barrel Bourbon £105.00 Country: American Region: American Age: Strength: 50.% 75cl Summary: Country/Region: USA/Kentucky. ABV: 50%. Unit: 75cl. Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely considered one of the founding fathers of the bourbon industry, fighting for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, nearly three decades after he purchased what is now called Buffalo Trace Distillery. During his time, Taylor implemented several innovative methods still used today, including climate controlled aging warehouses. E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is aged exclusively in Warehouse C, which was built by Taylor in 1881 and proven to be an excellent aging warehouse. Each barrel is hand-picked and Bottled in Bond at 100 proof to honour its namesake. Tasting Notes: The aroma carries lightly toasted oak, with dried figs and butterscotch. One sip brings flavours of sweetness balanced with tobacco and dark spices. The finish is just long enough to prepare the palette for another sip. The bottle itself is a likeness to Colonel Taylor's original design used over a century ago. Ratings: Double Gold Medal / 2015 Sanfrancisco World Spirits Competition. |

![]() Tomintoul / 15 Year Old Portwood Cask Finish £67.85 Country: Scotland Region: Highlands Age: Strength: 46.% 70cl Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands. Unit: 70cl ABV: 46% Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet 15 Years Old Portwood Finish has been created by the careful selection of mature whisky “finished” in Port wood. The malt whisky was transferred from Bourbon casks into the hand-picked Port pipes to “finish” its maturation for a generous period of time. This process of “finishing” bestows on the whisky refined characteristics, most notably, tones of fruity Port sweetness. Our Master Distiller deemed that the time was right to bottle the whisky at 15 years of age when the malt whisky flavour notes had reached harmony with the sweet attributes of the Portwood. Colour: Rose Gold Nose: Summer fruits, strawberries and blackberries tempered with some toffee sweetness and cigar box spiciness. Palate: Lush clean malt modified by fruity sweet port and some spicy oak tones. Finish: Full and rich with lingering herbal spices and toffee sweetness.
