Pros

  • I did this same comparison a while back with EHT SmB and SiB, and I also had SmB on top.
  • I love the small batch, but I really love the single barrels to the point where the small batch doesn’t compete.
  • E.H. Taylor Small Batch, by contrast, was the more complete experience: more well-rounded, more complex, and with a deeper flavor profile that gave you more to chase across the glass rather than one dominant impression.
  • Yeah, I love the small batch don’t get me wrong. Definitely one of my favorite bottles in its price range. ... it’s my favorite of the “entry level” BT products.
  • I’m a fan of E.H. Taylor Small Batch ... which is both lighter and sweeter than this Single Barrel was. ... EHT Small Batch earned from me previously [a 7.6].

Cons

  • Parent context: For me the finish was “short”? I grabbed a few bottles at 50$ to compare when the first one’s gone Reply: I'm guessing you're talking about the Small Batch, not the BTAC?
  • E.H. Taylor Small Batch is a bottled-in-bond Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace, 100 proof... I find it underwhelming, though plenty of people really love it, and it is not one I reach for when cheaper bottles do more. ... Even...
  • Small Batch: 5 ... I'll add that for me a "low" ranking doesn't necessarily equate to a bad whiskey ... I just don't find it being as complex and nuanced.
  • It’s almost twice the MSRP of regular Buffalo Trace and to me doesn’t taste significantly better.
  • The first 1 I tried was great, got me looking for more. I've found 2 lately, opened 1 and am unimpressed. I hope it gets better with some time.

EHT edges it for me as well.

I far prefer the EHT to Eagle Rare 10 ... The EHT is better balanced and more interesting IMO.

Rating B: 7.6 ... B, on the other hand, was slightly darker and more robust, with a touch less sweetness and a touch more complexity. ... B’s finish was slightly better because it lacked the sour oak note that A briefly featured
