Colonel EH Taylor

View Full Description [+ Read More]
Colonel E.H. Taylor is a whiskey brand produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, honoring Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., a 19th-century bourbon industry figure who championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. All expressions in the line meet bonded standards, meaning they are distilled in a single season, aged at least four years, and bottled at exactly 100 proof, with the exception of the uncut Barrel Proof releases, which include Batch 9 at 130.3 proof and Batch 10 at 127.3 proof. The Small Batch and Single Barrel bottlings serve as the accessible foundation of the range, while Straight Rye and the amaranth-mash Amaranth Grain of the Gods demonstrate ingredient experimentation. Warehouse C, 18 Year Old Marriage, and the Barrel Proof batches represent the upper tier of the Colonel E.H. Taylor catalog.

    Frequently asked questions

    Who was Colonel E.H. Taylor, and why does the brand matter?

    Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. was bourbon's great modernizer, the driving force behind the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 that guaranteed whiskey purity by law. Buffalo Trace's E.H. Taylor line honors him with bottled-in-bond bourbons and ryes that combine historical weight with some of the distillery's finest whiskey.

    What does bottled-in-bond mean on E.H. Taylor labels?

    It's the strictest quality standard in American whiskey: one distillery, one distilling season, aged at least four years in a bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. Taylor fought to create that law, which is why nearly every release in his namesake line carries the designation.

    What's the difference between E.H. Taylor Small Batch, Single Barrel, and Barrel Proof?

    Small Batch is the accessible flagship, balanced and softly spiced. Single Barrel showcases individual casks with more character variation, and Barrel Proof abandons the 100 proof standard for full uncut intensity. Above them sit rotating specialties like Four Grain and Amaranth, which are allocated and collected fiercely.

    What is the E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Tornado Surviving bourbon?

    In 2006 a tornado tore the roof from Buffalo Trace's historic Warehouse C, exposing aging barrels to months of Kentucky heat and weather. The surviving whiskey developed extraordinary depth and was bottled as a one-time release that became one of modern bourbon's most storied collectibles.

    Why is E.H. Taylor so hard to find?

    It shares Buffalo Trace's problem: whiskey planned a decade ago meeting today's demand. Small Batch allocations vanish on arrival, and the specialty releases are genuine unicorns. Buying from a retailer with authenticated stock is how most enthusiasts actually land these bottles, and ours ship with protection included.
