Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely considered one of the founding fathers of the bourbon industry, fighting for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, nearly three decades after he purchased what is now called Buffalo Trace Distillery. During his time, Taylor implemented several innovative methods still used today, including climate-controlled aging warehouses like Warehouse C, built by Taylor in 1881. Each barrel is hand-picked and Bottled in Bond at 100 proof to honor its namesake.

Colonel EH Taylor Barrel Proof is a bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels and bottled directly from the barrels.

The Highly Anticipated 2026 Return For collectors and bourbon devotees, the return of Colonel E.H. Taylor Cured Oak is a monumental event in the whiskey world. Originally released as a legendary one-off expression in 2015, Buffalo Trace Distillery has officially brought back this incredibly rare bourbon as a highly limited offering for May 2026. Honoring the innovative legacy of Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr.—the "Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry" who helped pass the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897—this release is an absolute must-have centerpiece for any premium collection. The 13-Month Curing Process What sets the Cured Oak expression apart is the extreme dedication to barrel craftsmanship. Most white oak barrel staves used by Buffalo Trace are air-dried for six months. However, the staves used for this specific 2026 release were air-dried outside for a full 13 months before being coopered into barrels. This extended, more-than-doubled curing time pulls more tannin and terpene development out of the wood, allowing the whiskey to extract deeper, richer, and more complex characters from the oak during maturation. Aged for exactly 10 years and presented as a 100-proof (50% ABV) Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley selected this specific age to ensure an exceptional balance between the profound influence of the extra-seasoned barrels and the natural sweetness of the bourbon. Tasting Notes Nose: An inviting and deeply layered aroma of dried fruit, sweet vanilla, and rich toffee. Palate: Rich, complex, and deeply inviting. The palate delivers profound notes of robust tobacco, dark dried fruits, and sweet vanilla, beautifully complemented by undertones of heavily seasoned oak. Finish: Exceptionally long, dry, and layered, showcasing the added depth and complexity derived from the 13-month cured barrel staves.
