Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof is Buffalo Trace's uncut, unfiltered, single-barrel-strength tribute to the man who modernised Kentucky bourbon. Distilled from Mash Bill #1 — a low-rye recipe with no wheat — and bottled straight from select barrels without water or chill filtration, every release runs hot, dense and unapologetically full. Recent batches land around 131 proof (≈65.5% ABV), pouring deep amber and packing layers of dark caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, dried fruit, leather and a long, oak-driven finish. A bourbon for drinkers who want the whiskey exactly as it left the barrel.
Released by the bottle, never by the case. Pour for pour, hand-poured into your glass — not a pallet.

Nose
Dark caramel, toasted oak, brown sugar, dried fig, leather and a soft hint of clove. Big but never harsh.
Palate
Rich toffee, espresso, baked cherry, candied pecan, cracked black pepper and cinnamon — full-bodied and viscous, the kind of texture only barrel proof gives you.
Finish
Long, hot and oak-forward. Dried fruit, dark chocolate, tobacco and lingering vanilla cream that holds for minutes.
Flavor
Serving Suggestion
Pour 1.5 oz neat into a Glencairn at room temperature. A few drops of spring water lift the nose without dulling the depth. This is a sipping pour — too much character to mix.
Food Pairings
Dark-chocolate truffles, espresso, smoked brisket, aged sharp cheddar, pecan pie and grilled ribeye.
