This 2025 release of E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond marks a pivotal moment for the legendary series, combining historic legislation-era standards with modern-age maturity. Aged for 15 years and 4 months, bottled at 100 proof, this bourbon is bold yet balanced — rich oak and deep caramel meet refined structure, making it a serious collector’s pour and an excellent choice for thoughtful sipping.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky, this expression enters the Antique Collection for the first time — a major milestone for the lineup. The mash bill is Buffalo Trace’s “Mash Bill No. 1” (low-rye straight bourbon), and these barrels matured the requisite 15 years and 4 months in bonded warehouses. Adhering to Bottled-in-Bond regulations, it was distilled in a single season, matured in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). The result delivers full maturity while maintaining the balance and finesse characteristic of the E.H. Taylor legacy.
Critics Reviews
-
One leading bourbon critic described it as “warm vanilla and seasoned oak rise first, joined by charred undertones and a drizzle of maple sweetness”, praising its “baking-spice centre equipped with gentle wood notes.”
-
A spirits writer observed that “the palate unfolds layers of toffee, brown sugar and honeyed corn, then deep toasted oak, baking spice and dark chocolate; the finish lingers elegantly with caramel and soft cherry.”
-
Industry commentary highlights the importance of this release: “the first new addition to the Antique Collection in nearly 20 years, and it honours the Bottled-in-Bond Act founder with discipline, age and maturity rarely seen in mainstream bourbons.”
Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Deep amber copper. Rich aromas of warm vanilla bean, maple syrup, seasoned oak, subtle char, and a faint touch of dried cherry.
-
Palate: Full-bodied with elegance. Layers of toffee and brown sugar give way to honeyed corn sweetness, toasted oak, baking spice (clove, cinnamon), and dark chocolate whispers.
-
Finish: Long and smooth; lingering oak tannin leads into caramel cream, soft cherry fade and a gentle tobacco leaf echo that stays with you.
