Colonel EH Taylor Jr Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., who is regarded as the founder of contemporary bourbon, was born in Columbus, Kentucky, on February 12, 1830. Born an orphan, Taylor was raised in Louisiana by his great-uncle Zachary Taylor (later the twelfth President of the United States), after being adopted by Edmund Haynes Taylor, Sr. Taylor returned to Kentucky and enrolled in B. B. Sayer’s Academy after attending the Boyer’s French School in New Orleans. Following in his father’s footsteps, Taylor entered the banking industry and helped a number of Reconstruction-affected distilleries in Kentucky.

Taylor acquired a tiny distillery on the Kentucky River’s banks in 1869. Taylor started updating and modernizing the distillery after naming it O.F.C. Distillery (OFC stood for Old Fire Copper). He bought copper fermentation tanks, new grain grinding machinery, and distinctive columnar stills. Taylor also used a number of cutting-edge distillation methods during his time there, such as maturing bourbon in climate-controlled rickhouses.

The vast majority of distilleries at the time had yet to age their whiskey. Some distillers and retailers sweetened their bourbon with juices and syrups to make it more drinkable, while others added tobacco and acid to give the whiskey its distinctive amber color.

Equipped with a political background and distilling expertise, Taylor worked with Treasury Secretary John G. Carlisle to help enact the Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 (27 C.F.R. 5.21). Any spirit bearing the labels “Bonded” or “Bottled-in-Bond” had to be produced by a single distiller at a single distillery during a single distillation season, according to the act. The Act also mandated that bonded spirits be bottled at 100 proof and matured for at least four years in a federally bonded storage overseen by the US government.

In a century-old storehouse that Taylor built, Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Single Barrel Bourbon is aged for 11 years and 7 months in brand-new American oak casks. The bourbon is bottled in bond at 100 proof after it reaches its maximum maturity. The scent of Taylor Single Barrel Bourbon includes figs, maple syrup, and oaky spices. A hint of strong oak complements the sweet finish, which is characterized by flavors of orange peel, dates, toasted almonds, and tobacco.

Colonel EH Taylor Jr Single Barrel Bourbon received 94 points from Wine Enthusiast and won the Gold Medal at the 2012 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition. Furthermore, it received 97 points at the 2012 Ultimate Spirits Challenge, two more than Pappy Van Winkle 23YO Bourbon.
