Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Bottled-in-Bond is a tribute to the man who championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — a landmark piece of legislation that established the first government guarantee of whiskey quality and authenticity. This expression honours that legacy with a bourbon crafted under the same exacting standards: produced at a single distillery, in a single season, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV).
The nose is rich with caramel, butterscotch, and dried fruit, underpinned by seasoned oak and a hint of dark espresso. On the palate, sweet vanilla and baking spice mingle with tobacco leaf and citrus peel, all carried by a syrupy, full-bodied mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a rounded burnt-orange character that fades gracefully.
Part of Buffalo Trace's highly sought-after Antique Collection, E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond is a Kentucky classic that honours the traditions it helped create.
