Col. E.H. Taylor Single Barrel & Small Batch Bourbon Uncorking Anniversary

[@gdav75]

“Put a ring on it!”.. you guys are so fun to watch..educational and enjoyable. Cheers to 5 more years!

[@gilbertomedina9905]

Wow…walked into a Big retail shop today and they offered me the EH Taylor small batch. Thinking I would be dropping $100….nope retail $39.99. Never thought I would see some of these allocated bottles. But like everything else, they are out there. Looking forward to popping it open! Love your channel.

[@brettmchan2855]

I really do enjoy the hell put of EH Taylor small batch! It's the only one when I got to the distillery with the old lady we both get one! That is of course of that's what they have for the day! It's the only buffalo trace of the core 4 that I MUST have a backup for!

[@dylanfloyd7510]

I work in a liquor store in FL and we just got two bottles of small batch EH Taylor and ELT sour mash. Went with the EH Taylor and brought it home. I’m pretty new to Bourbon and the other allocated I’ve ever had is the regular Buffalo Trace. Excited to start this journey!

[@dylanfloyd7510]

Elmer T Lee Sour Mash not ELT

[@alee7805]

Does your store still have ELT? I've been lookin for that

[@BourbonandAussies]

Congratulations. Hard to believe I’ve been watching a KZbin channel for 5 years, but sure enough, I have been here since “nearly” the beginning. Definitely started watching in 2016. Here’s to five more! DMB!

[@ItsBourbonNight]

That’s awesome, thank you for sticking around with us!!

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Love the balanced review and we’re on the same page. For better or worse, Taylor SmB is one of the most enjoyable Buffalo Trace products to our palates. Cheers to 5 years-the new branding and merch is on point!

[@davevogelsang6791]

Catching up on old episodes. Just got my first bottle of EH Taylor small batch a month ago close to MSRP for $55. I have not opened yet, waiting for a special occasion. I have not seen a bottle of the Single Barrel yet, but hopefully can find one at a reasonable price. Great channel.

[@wrojasgpd]

I've had both small batch and single barrel. Love both... but I've found the single barrel was more savory. If small batch was dessert... single barrel is the meal. Cheers y'all and keep the videos coming 🤙🏼

[@theukyankee]

Happy Anniversary of uncorking together!

[@Justmario262]

I really like the small batch. I wish I could find it more often.

[@dbltime]

Scored 2 bottles of the Small Batch at Buffalo Trace last month. Purchased both for $90. Have not yet tried it, but may now have to open one up. Thanks for the review. Always fun to watch you chat up about bourbon. 🙂

[@Matthew_M1821]

Great video! Need more of these please.

[@NantukoMentor]

I just picked up the EH Taylor small batch, going to try it for the first time. Also just wanted to say thank you for all the content! I've been drinking bourbon casually for a long time, but a recent trip to Lexington and finding your channel has taken my game to a whole new level. Just picked up some Blantons, Larceny, Elijah Craig, Evan Williams (Single Barrel, BIB and 1783), Wild Turkey (101 and Rare Breed), Russell's Reserve 10, Buffalo Trace, 1792 BIB, a couple ryes (Pikesville and Whistlepig 10) and a few from a local distillery. Pretty much following the beginner recommendations I've seen from you two. Going to host a blind flight fight to try some of them out tomorrow!! Oh and love the sweatshirt and copitas!

[@whiskeywithe7907]

Thats awsome guys ..as i have been filming myself off my cell phone 2 lol.much love 2 u both...i will do a special uncorking of a blend for you and giv you guys a shot out .happy 5th anavesery. .i still gotta find a EH taylor ..i be close to 250-280 here in australia

[@JohnDoe-vf2fm]

Yall just blew my mind. I have that same E.H taylor bottle that yall think is bad and I had the same conclusion! Its still sitting on my shelf and I had sworn off the brand until I heard this news. Ill have to go try a newer batch and see if its really that different. Thanks Chad and Sara and congrats on keeping strong with this site!

[@ejbsee6081]

Happy anniversary to you both, Chad and Sarah and Col EH Taylor pics

[@BourbonandaBaby]

I've only tasted one EH Taylor Single Barrel and that one tasted really similar to the Small Batch, so it wasn't worth it to me to spend the extra money on. The small batch is so good and consistent that it's hard to pass up (when you can find it)! Cheers to 5 years of amazing content!!!

[@johnlukianov3094]

Started watching you guys recently, must say I’m enjoying your channel. Looked this up in particular because small batch is one of my favorites and wanted to get some opinions on the single, you were spot on. My wife goes to Costco today as she’s shopping she sees a worker putting out small batch, he put out 6, she left with 6, great wife. And $35.99 per bottle, what a score today. Anywho keep up the good work.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Wooo! Nice score :) And thanks for watching the channel!

[@gregponder8332]

I ran into both recently sitting side by side at a store and was not surprised that they were not "on sale" at retail. I was surprised that the small batch was more expensive than the single barrel. The small batch was $120 while the single barrel was $100. I expected it to be the other way around.

[@pressman1788]

1st Bourbon and Rye channel I started watching! Love all your content, Sara wearing the Johnny Drum shirt in the early clip,👍. Always a pleasure to watch and listen.Thank you for all the great advice. Cheers! 🥃👍🇺🇸

[@waynemontpetit8181]

Just won a lottery in NC and going to get my Small Batch this morning 🙂

[@tubeagespank]

We had a 'wet hay', almost silage bottle of Taylor a few years ago. Made cocktails and they were OK.

[@ryanfinney5054]

Congrats on 5 years! You’re such a great pair. Always enjoy your videos

[@whiskeylino5669]

A month ago I was shocked to find a single barrel, and yesterday I found a small batch! I remember when I could always find these, not no more

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Wooo!

[@drgallup]

Just picked up an EHT small batch for $50 last week. Only the second time I've found it. I really enjoyed the first bottle, hope this one is as good. Never seen an EHT SiB so based on this review I won't worry about it! Happy 5 years kids.

[@luisg8946]

Where did you find that??? Im in So. California and its scarce

[@finalresult3d]

Found a small batch last night for $52. Super happy!

[@joshuabunkers1494]

Small Batch is so good. I'll pay as much as $120 for it if I can find it.

[@jesseG223]

You should draw a random patron to send a sample of the wet hay bottle too. I’ve been hearing about this bottle for years, would love a chance to taste it lol

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

Looking forward to your Sunday stream! I've only had the small batch E. H. Taylor but it was definitely one I really enjoyed... so somehow I need to try and sample all of them now. I also have some fancy glassware heading my way too. It's been a wild ride being part of this WhiskeyTube community, I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled into this crazy whiskey world. Plus, in case you didn't know after all these years... I definitely drink more bourbon now... and yes, I blame you two amazing human beings for that.

[@chriskerker8952]

I would pay the extra $40 for the Single Barrel because then I could brag about having one and post pictures of it online…my life on social media is the only one worth living.

[@FNGWhiskey]

I think these Taylors are all over the place. I have had 4 small batches and one was way different. I have had 3 single barrels opened, and they have all been different. I have 3 store picks that I need to open. I am going to compare a small batch, a sib sp, and the sib I have opened here soon. Excited for that night lol.

[@Posterharpua]

i've had 2 of the single barrels in store pick selection form...absolutely phenomenal and not something i've seen alot of stores doing.

[@MrMoney331]

Man that Crystal glass is fantastic looking. But not sure I wanna spend $40 on a glass right now.....Decisions!! Lol Happy 5 years!

[@leonardwestman8140]

Happy 5th! This was may lucky weekend. I was in our Idaho State Liquor store yesterday. I mentioned I hadn't seen a Col. Taylor in quite some time. She said they had one come in yesterday held in the back for a local bar. Bars get first chance before the general public. They were late in confirming they wanted it. She said "its yours". I got a small batch for $ 41. I also scored a Weller Antique 107.

[@kirkandsylvia]

I love the small batch! However I have never tried the single barrel. The small batch is $145 here in north GA, the cheapest I’ve seen it is $79 (which I pounce on).

[@sdf1975]

Holy cow. $37 bucks here for the small batch at Costco.

[@TRob_1964]

Would love to find a bottle of small batch. That new cut crystal glen looks amazing Thanks guys! Update...my daughter was able to get me a bottle and she's bringing it next week!

[@mttech1995]

Congrats on the 5 yr anniversary on the Tube! Good channel… and good content!! It was one of the first whiskey tube channels that I started watching and subscribed to!

[@waydegardner7373]

Yeah. We don’t see any EHT in Texas. Was able to pick up two small batch while visiting family in Frankfort. It’s a once a month treat.

[@TheDonnaCrosby]

[@aldogomez2681]

Question? How do figure out what year the bottle was dumped or bottled?

[@Seoul_of_bourbon]

There should be a laser code near the bottom that starts with an “L” and 2 numbers after is which would be the year. Mine says “L19....”

[@aldogomez2681]

What is the "L 2"? mean?

[@michaelschraft698]

I had a pour at a bar of the small batch and loved it! Since then I went looking for a bottle and the last time I saw one it was for $140…

[@joeldidier]

It’s like watching a couple of mom and dads drink whiskey.

[@Mr_Zimm]

Have a few expressions of EHT, my absolute favorite is the straight rye followed by the barrel proof. Wish they released barrel proof more often.

[@johngannondirectorcamerama30]

I was at Total Wine today buying my first bottle of Michters Rye. I noticed the customer behind me buying a bottle of Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch BIB, so I said "good choice". He excitedly said, "I'm from Indiana, can't find it there, it's $45.00 and there's one more on the counter over there". I made a B Line over to that counter and snatched it up. Colonel Taylor was sitting in the middle of 10 to 15 bottles of Eagle Rare. An employee said "everybody's buying that (EH Taylor BIB). I think I landed in the middle of a small allocation, what luck. I'll let you know what I think of both later.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

What luck!!

[@Tonyr0206]

I, for the first time, found a bottle of small batch, this past Friday...at retail!! ($56) I couldn't grab it fast enough. It is a spectacular bourbon, and may well be on it's way to my favorite bourbon. My only regret is, in that the three years since I've really gotten into bourbon, this is the first time I've ever seen a bottle....so I may need to save it and only drink it on occasion, until I happen to stumble across another bottle of it.

[@madslav2915]

E.H. Taylor, both the small batch and single barrel, go for around 100 € here in Germany which is like 120 $. It’s insane. I got a regular Blanton's for around 80 $, I bought it for special occasions, but haven’t tried it yet.

[@GeorgeKnew]

Blanton's is badly over-rated.

[@tfitz44]

LOL! Those prices just two years ago… Now online prices for small batch is around $140 and single barrel around $270. I have yet to find either one in West Virginia or Virginia.

[@avalancher34]

$40...Yeah... just saw it in Bardstown, KY today. Small batch was $129. Another (couldn't tell which) because when I saw the $400 price tag, I instantly dismissed. Keystone Liquors in Bardstown.

[@aldenwilkins]

Anyone else hear the into as bourbonite, a rare material and our greatest weakness??? 😂

[@anthonybleess2213]

Hey Doc! I’m going with Otoga 222 the Pit Droid from Phantom Menace. I’ll go with the Colonel E. H. Taylor small batch.

[@soundwaveca]

Still one of my favourite bourbons of all time.

[@Dafoodmaster]

what is the wet hay batch i'm intrigued and nostalgic for farm memories

[@kenmcguire2427]

Just catching up on your videos... I have seen these on the shelf, but I opted for Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek 9, and Evan Williams BIB, for a few dollars less than one bottle EH Small Batch. So, now I ask you... Would you rather walk away with those 3 or just the 1 bottle?

[@kyliejohn3813]

My first sip of a new EH Taylor single barrel was skunky and I was really disappointed. I went back 1 week later for another try and it was wonderful! The air entering the bottle must have opened up the whisky and the funk was entirely gone. I was sad to see it go, so I bought another bottle.

[@michaelackley1560]

Like the new logo! Great design. Looks great on everything. Have you ever designed shirt with design on back of shirt? Prefer that style.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Yes we do!

[@michaelackley1560]

Will take a look thanks

[@Kberrysal]

I got a box of Weller by Cohiba cigar it was made to pair with Weller 12yr, do you have lost of Bourbon that could live up to Weller 12yr Old or better that will not break the bank

[@slimetime185]

I tried I think the small batch at a hole in the wall bar and I fell in love instantly

[@DBTdad]

Ezra Brooks 99 reminded me of wet hay and mushroom. Great review! Enjoy a fifth on your 5th!

[@brucebelitz3451]

We brought home a single barrel last May, it was really good but now after the awards the price and availability is out of this world. We have only gotten 2 single barrels since last June, it's really scarce.

[@kevinsorgi8473]

I've had both and I really like the small batch more. Both a great though

Ok I put a ring on it. SUBBED!

[@drewhenderson7744]

I miss the outtakes. I also am trying to justify the $40 crystal glass.

We just got too darn good and stopped messing up! Haha but seriously, we rarely have a good outtake anymore. We kinda miss them too!

Is this meant to be had once in while or several glass at a time ?

[@ItsBourbonNight]

It's meant to be how ever you prefer to have it, of course! (in moderation, obviously)

[@chriscarter-m5i]

Tried small batch this thanksgiving 2024 and it’s trash like I’m drinking everclear. Is it possible to have a bad one?

[@muskogeedronevideos6759]

any chance you two will do a review of EH Taylor Barrel Proof?

[@baaa4698]

Concur with spending the money on small batch. With some exceptions, single barrels can offer an expensive disappoint. As an aside have y’all ever thought about doing a video at Justins’?! (Would enjoy watching u two do blind flights of unicorn bottles vs the more easier to find whiskey offerings.)

[@tgentilcoremd]

I can only imagine the horribleness of the "Wet Hay" bottle :( ... I think, while not "Wet Hay", I have experienced similar disappointment with a Michters 10 year bourbon, with which I still struggle after several months, of giving up on because of paying way too much on secondary market. Moving forward unless we are able to try it in advance of buying it, should we shy away from single barrels in favor of small batch? It is maybe a small difference, but it might markedly decrease the likelihood of similar "Wet Hay" or other descriptors types of disappointing experiences. Excellent video! Thank You!

[@dudegreg]

If y'all want a bottle that is a middle ground between EHT Small Batch and your EHT Single Bottle, mix your two bottles together.

[@javieracosta3439]

The Single Barrel is def a try before you buy for me. The balance and consistency of the Small Batch at retail is very hard to beat. Clear wiener!

[@everwind5691]

Do you think your older Col Taylor is corked with TCA?

[@MrStrongbox]

It's weird but I get the "grapey" note with Old Forester, particularly the 100 proof cheaper OF offering.

[@rodneymurphy3722]

I once bought a bottle of Woodford Reserve double oaked. It smelled and tasted awful. I think it had a moldy cork. I took it back where I bought it and the manager who I know well opened it. He immediately said we are getting you another bottle. He said something like this rarely happens but there is no doubt something is wrong. My new bottle was great.

I feel like for as difficult as it is to find a Small Batch, it’s just not worth it. The Single Barrel I was able to get was pretty good, but I’d rather drink WT101 over the Small Batch.

I would rather go for the small batch or barrel proof over the single barrel. It's just too inconsistent.
