I’ve posted about this bottle of @homebasespirits bourbon batch 14 before. It continues to open up nicely since uncorking, revealing more flavors over time. If it keeps on this way it may soon warrant a bottle kill post as well! Home Base is fully women owned and operated. Their bourbon makes a great way to raise a glass on this first day of Women’s History Month! Cheers!
Thought I’d check to make sure, and yep, it’s still good. 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃
When I first uncorked this 2019 E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof it tasted just like Stagg Jr. I did a side-by-side and they were indeed very close. A couple months on and it’s aired out more into its herbal side and is now quite distinct. Loving it! Cheers! 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃
