E.H. Taylor Single Barrel

About the E.H. Taylor Single Barrel

E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is a straight Kentucky bourbon produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, United States. The whisky honours Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. He is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of American bourbon. Taylor built Warehouse C at the distillery in 1881. That warehouse is still used to age these barrels today. It dates from an era when Taylor was reshaping the entire bourbon trade. The warehouse is now renowned within the industry for its exceptional maturation conditions. This E.H. Taylor expression is bottled in bond at 100 proof, or 50% ABV. Bottled-in-bond is a strict legal standard covering proof, aging, and distillery of origin. Each barrel is selected individually before bottling, and no two releases are identical. The single-barrel approach means the whisky reflects one specific cask's character rather than a blended average. That individuality is part of what drives the interest in this label. The flavour profile opens with butterscotch and dried fig. Both are rich and rounded from extended time in charred oak. Dark spices follow — cinnamon and clove — with a tobacco-like earthiness underneath. Caramel and honey fill out the middle, adding sweetness without cloying. The finish is long and driven by toasted oak. This is not a light bourbon. It has depth, and it rewards patience. For anyone building a serious bourbon collection, E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is a reliable and well-regarded choice. It has earned recognition at major international spirits competitions across multiple recent years. The individual barrel approach means every bottle carries its own character. That is part of what makes this expression compelling to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Each release is a snapshot of one specific barrel from the legendary Warehouse C. Drink it neat to appreciate the full depth of what each barrel delivers.
