EH Taylor barrel: The aroma opens with a bright medley of fruity notes—red apple skin and pear take the lead, rounded out by whiskey, orange citrus, cacao, and a faint touch of ethyl. Hints of butterscotch and cooked agave emerge subtly, adding warmth and sweetness. On the palate: cacao takes center stage, complemented by baked apple with warming spices and delicate pear. Whiskey and wood lend depth, while salted caramel, pepper, and vanilla create a gourmand profile that induced salivation. A soft floral note weaves throughout. The finish lingers beautifully, with a dry down of whiskey, pepper, and dried fruit. Fading notes of medicinal caramel—possibly from the wooden saturation—leave a gentle warmth, accented by wafts of apple on the breath. Altogether, this composition feels perfectly suited to the winter season, with a cinnamon spiciness and comforting richness that evoke the joy of holiday traditions. A taste for cozy moments by the fire.

All around good. Old bottle at Baja Betty’s. Nothing stands out but good from aroma to finish.
Ummmm. Awful. Aroma isn’t bad but after that…yuck. Taste is harsh and chemical. There’s a bubblegum/cotton candy taste that is terrible. The finish is hot and harsh. No gracias.

This Single Estate Añejo version was aged in a single E.H. Taylor bourbon barrel. The aroma is caramel, orange, citrus, oak and whiskey, with a hint of cooked agave. The flavor is caramel, black pepper, citrus, oak, whiskey, cooked agave and a touch of floral. A pleasant, long finish. Would go well with a cigar after dinner. Excellent value at Costco.
