| Description: | Tasting Notes: Colonel E.h. Taylor Amaranth Grain Bourbon Vital Stats: Bottled in bond, 100 proof, 50% Abv. Distilled by Buffalo Trace with a mashbill of corn, amaranth, and malted barley. No age statement. Appearance: Light orange or a pale honey. Looks to have a light body, even with the 100 proof. Nose: Bright cherry, with a dash of toasted honey, or perhaps brown sugar. Palate: This is where things get fun. Fruit with a long finish. Opens with a bit of maraschino cherry and then late harvest blueberry. There's some orange peel lingering in the background of the finish. Some oak in the middle. I know there are a lot of flavor words going on Caround here, but really, this whiskey is an experience. The new Colonel E.h. Taylor, Jr. Amaranth Bourbon Whiskey makes use of Amaranth as a grain type alongside the more traditional corn (Buffalo Trace Mashbill #1) and malted barley. Amaranth was originally cultivated by the Aztecs and is called "the Grain of the Gods." It is similar to wheat, but is said to offer "a complex taste with subtle flavors ranging from a nose of butterscotch and spearmint, to a finish of pecans and dark berries." |
