The Colonel EH Taylor Bourbon

Buffalo Trace Distillery has recreated his traditional sour mash and produced a limited edition, a one-time offering of The Colonel EH Taylor Bourbon

Old Fashioned Sour Mash Bourbon Whiskey for a true bourbon aficionado. A few years prior a gathering of Distillery retirees, a method was recounted for making “Old Fashioned Sour Mash whiskey. Edmund Hayes Taylor Jr. (The Colonel EH Taylor Bourbon) was known to use this technique in the late 1800s.

Taylor’s technique involved allowing the mash to sour naturally for days before distillation. Distilled in 2002, and bottled in 2012, this bourbon is a modern replication of this old-fashioned method.

Using Taylor’s original sourcing process, the result is a bourbon fo character and body like none other today.
The combination of a rare estimated 10-year aging, winning the 2012 Gold Medal as one of the fifty best bourbons, and the extremely rare limited release makes this bottle nearly impossible to find.

As the founding father of the bourbon industry, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. left an indelible legacy. His dedication to distilling began at the close of the Civil War when he purchased O.F C. Distillery.

There, he developed innovative techniques that are still in use today. Made by hand, this Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey has been aged inside century-old warehouses constructed by The Colonel EH Taylor Bourbon

Barrels are evaluated and selected to create a perfect blend of distinctive character that is like no other. This bourbon is a true sipping bourbon that honors the uncompromising legacy of The Colonel EH Taylor Bourbon
