When I first got into bourbon and whiskey, there was something special about a bottle in a cylinder. I would drive around from place to place looking for E.H Taylor Small Batch or Yellowstone Limited Editions, which once came in cylinders too. While I was lucky and found E.H. Taylor Small Batch and Single Barrel, the Barrel Proof was the one that avoided me for almost four years. When I found the opportunity, I snagged it and have savored every last drop! Now, let me share my thoughts with you!
