For the first time in nearly two decades, an E.H. Taylor expression joins the prestigious Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, marking a historic milestone for both the brand and the 25th anniversary of BTAC. This 15-year-4-month aged bourbon honors Colonel E.H. Taylor, the visionary who transformed the O.F.C. Distillery—now Buffalo Trace—and championed the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act that defined American whiskey standards. Bottled at 100 proof and crafted from Buffalo Trace's signature sour mash recipe, this limited release opens with warm vanilla, seasoned oak, and charred notes accented by maple sweetness.
The palate reveals a refined balance of gentle sweetness, baking spices, and soft wood, finishing with lingering oak, vanilla, soft caramel, and a whisper of cherry. Bearing Colonel Taylor's signature, it stands as a testament to the legacy of quality and integrity he established.
