As the founding father of the modern bourbon industry, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. left an indelible legacy. His dedication to distilling began at the close of the Civil War when he purchased O.F C. Distillery. There, he developed innovative techniques—including being the driving force behind the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897—many of which are still in use today. Made by hand, this E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey has been aged inside century-old warehouses constructed by E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrels are carefully evaluated and selected to create a perfect blend of distinctive character that is like no other. This authentic, Bottled-in-Bond bourbon is a true sipping whiskey that honors the uncompromising legacy of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr.
