Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Batch #12, released in 2023 at 131.1 proof, honors the pioneering legacy of Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., one of bourbon’s most influential figures. Taylor’s impact began in the 19th century, shaping the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 and setting standards that still influence whiskey production today. This bottle, presented in the brand’s iconic vintage-inspired tube and label, is part of the sought-after Barrel Proof series—each release is uncut and unfiltered, reflecting the spirit of Taylor’s original warehouse methods. Collectors prize Batch #12 for its connection to Buffalo Trace’s historic distillery and its limited availability, making it a standout in any rare whiskey collection.
