Colonel E.H. Taylor ‘Barrel Proof’ Bourbon Batch #2, released in 2013, is a celebrated expression from Buffalo Trace that pays homage to one of bourbon’s legendary pioneers, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. Known for championing the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, Taylor’s legacy is reflected in the distillery’s limited releases. Batch #2 stands out for its uncut and unfiltered presentation at 135.4 proof, capturing the whiskey straight from the barrel as Taylor himself might have enjoyed it. Housed in a vintage-inspired canister and featuring a signature yellow label, this release quickly became a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts. Its scarcity and direct connection to Taylor’s innovative spirit make Batch #2 a highly sought-after piece of modern bourbon history, representing a significant chapter in Buffalo Trace’s acclaimed E.H. Taylor line.
