Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels; this bourbon is bottled directly from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered at more than 125 proof. It reflects how whiskey was produced in the days before Prohibition when Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. owned Buffalo Trace Distillery. Drawn from barrels aged in warehouses constructed over a century ago under Taylor's watchful eye, the taste is smooth yet powerful and uncompromising, just like its namesake.
