Colonel E.H. Taylor 'Barrel Proof' Bourbon Batch #12 (2023) honors the pioneering legacy of Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., a foundational figure in American whiskey history. Taylor championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, setting high standards for quality and transparency that still influence bourbon today. Released in 2023, Batch #12 continues the tradition of presenting whiskey at barrel strength—uncut and unfiltered—offering a direct link to the methods used in Taylor’s era. The bottle’s vintage-inspired label and canister echo the original packaging from the late 1800s, making it a standout for collectors. At 131.1 proof, this release is sought after for its authenticity and connection to one of Kentucky’s most storied distilleries. For enthusiasts, Batch #12 is a significant chapter in the ongoing story of E.H. Taylor’s enduring influence on bourbon heritage.
