Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof

Named in honor of Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., one of the founding figures of modern bourbon, E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof is bottled straight from the barrel without dilution or chill filtration. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery and released in limited batches, each expression showcases bourbon in its purest form, allowing the proof and character of every batch to shine. While each release varies slightly, Barrel Proof has earned a reputation as one of the most sought after annual releases in American whiskey.

The nose opens with rich caramel, butterscotch, toasted oak, and orange zest layered over dark cherry and warm baking spice. On the palate, flavors of toffee, vanilla bean, roasted pecan, cinnamon, and dark chocolate build into a bold yet remarkably balanced sip. Despite its high proof, the whiskey carries an impressive richness and silky texture before finishing with lingering notes of seasoned oak, baking spice, tobacco, and caramel that seem to last indefinitely.

For a pairing that stands up to its intensity, pour Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof alongside our Teres Major. The whiskey's deep caramel, oak, and spice complement the richness of the beef, while its bright citrus and baking spice lift the roasted vegetables and chimichurri. Together, they create a pairing that's bold, balanced, and unmistakably classic.
