"Debuted in 2000, the annual series just released Colonel E. H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, a 15-year-old, 100-proof bourbon named after the "Father of Modern Bourbon." Taylor has a storied history. After the Civil War, he established the O.F.C. Distillery, now known as Buffalo Trace. He's also credited with revolutionizing the whiskey industry with methods still in use today, including copper fermenters, column stills and climate-controlled aging warehouses."
"E.H. Taylor joins five returning staples of the Collection: Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon, George T. Stagg Bourbon (which has thankfully returned once again after a skip in 2021), Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey, Sazerac 18-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and William Larue Weller Bourbon. These are primarily (though not exclusively) uncut and unfiltered whiskies as old as 18 years, many of which go on to win major drinks awards."
"Bottled at 101 proof in recognition of the original Eagle Rare brand launched in 1975, this bourbon is actually aged beyond its 17-year statement and matured for 18 years and 4 months. Last year's vintage received a Double Platinum award at the 2025 ASCOT Awards, and this one might be even better. There's a bit of cherry and fruit on the nose, followed by a nice, rich mouthfeel, gentle oak spice, vanilla, more cherry and red berry, and some lovely tobacco notes. It's a stunner."
The 25th Buffalo Trace Antique Collection introduces Colonel E. H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, a 15-year-old, 100-proof release honoring Taylor and his innovations. Taylor founded the O.F.C. Distillery after the Civil War and implemented techniques such as copper fermenters, column stills and climate-controlled aging warehouses. The new E.H. Taylor joins Eagle Rare 17-Year (aged beyond 17 years), George T. Stagg, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye, Sazerac 18-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye and William Larue Weller. Many releases are uncut and unfiltered, aged up to 18 years, win major awards and remain scarce at modest retail prices.
