Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Batch #12 (2023) pays homage to one of bourbon’s most influential pioneers, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. Known for his pivotal role in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, Taylor’s legacy lives on through expressions like this highly sought-after release. Bottled straight from the barrel at 131.1 proof and left unfiltered, it captures the bold spirit of the namesake’s original warehouse innovations. Each yearly batch reflects the ongoing commitment to traditional methods at Buffalo Trace Distillery, with Batch #12 continuing the line’s reputation for exclusivity and collector appeal. The signature canister and label, styled after 19th-century designs, further connect this bottle to its historic roots, making it a standout addition for enthusiasts and historians alike.
