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.

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.
