About this bottle

Few bourbons wear the bottled-in-bond stamp as visibly as Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch. Bottled-in-bond — one distillery, one season, at least four years in wood, exactly 100 proof — is the 1897 standard Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. fought to create, and this small batch tribute ages in the century-old Frankfort warehouses he built, now home to Buffalo Trace. The pour runs to caramel corn and butterscotch with a ribbon of licorice, closing soft before subtle pepper and tobacco arrive late. Made from the distillery's low-rye Mash Bill #1, it stays an allocation staple that moves quickly when it hits shelves. Pour it neat for anyone who wants to taste why the bond act mattered.

How to drink Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch

Bottled-in-bond whiskies sit right at the proof most Old Fashioned recipes are built around, so this one measures out cleanly without throwing off the ratio. Neat is still the better way to catch the late pepper and tobacco, but it won't fall apart if you build a drink with it.

The Bourbon Historian
@bourbonhistorian
This bottle is why "bottled in bond" means anything at all. Taylor spent years lobbying for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the first federal consumer-protection law for anything you eat or drink, decades before the FDA existed. One distillery, one distilling season, four years in a government warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof. In an era when "whiskey" could legally be neutral spirit coloured with tobacco and prune juice, that green strip was a guarantee. Start here and everything else on this shelf makes more sense.
Their tasting notes Nose: butterscotch and dried orange. Palate: caramel, black pepper, a little chalky minerality. Finish: dry and long, with the bond-proof heat arriving late.
