This limited Colonel E.H. Taylor release uses Buffalo Trace’s low-rye Mash Bill #1, aged seventeen years in barrels built from oak staves cured for thirteen months. Those staves spent more than twice the usual time seasoning outdoors, pulling deep character from the wood before a drop ever hit the barrel.
Warehouse C does the rest. Cool brick walls, long seasons, and patient evaporation stretch the bourbon into something lean, layered, and quietly powerful rather than just oaky. Bottled-in-bond at 100 proof, it carries a focused, old-school Kentucky profile where fruit, vanilla, and seasoned lumberyard notes move together instead of fighting for attention. This feels like a love letter to meticulous barrel work and long, careful aging. The personality leans richly fruited rather than heavy and brooding. Red apple, cherry, and dried fig mingle with vanilla, toffee, and a touch of mint before dry oak and tobacco notes drift in.
On the palate, that fruit turns deeper and darker, laced with cocoa, brown sugar, and a clean lumberyard edge that reminds you how long it sat in wood. Sweetness never loses the thread of seasoned oak, leaving a bourbon that tastes both generous and sharply defined.
The finish holds your attention for a long time. Dry oak, cocoa, and gentle spice sit over lingering fig, cherry skin, and faint cigar-box notes. Heat stays civilized, rising slowly rather than flashing hot, which makes each small pour feel more like a slow unfolding than a quick hit. It’s the kind of bottle people open when they want to sit with a glass and actually pay attention.
