Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Straight Rye Bottled-in-Bond

A perennial award-winner and a tribute to one of American whiskey's greatest pioneers, Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Straight Rye is a small-batch, Bottled-in-Bond 100 proof straight Kentucky rye whiskey made with rye, malted barley, and no corn — a bold, traditional mash bill that pays homage to the style Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was crafting over 100 years ago at what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery.

As rye whiskey experiences a powerful resurgence in the American whiskey landscape, this expression stands as a reminder that Colonel Taylor was ahead of his time — and that the best rye whiskeys are defined by their grain, their craft, and their patience.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dried fruit, black pepper, and a touch of fresh dill

• Finish: Oaky dryness that lingers with a sweet, satisfying moment

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Bottled-in-Bond mean?

Bottled-in-Bond is a designation established by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — championed by Colonel E.H. Taylor himself. It requires the whiskey to be the product of one distillation season at one distillery, aged at least 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. It's one of the oldest and most trusted quality guarantees in American spirits.

What makes this rye unique?

Is this a limited release?

Yes — E.H. Taylor expressions are produced in limited quantities at Buffalo Trace Distillery, making them highly sought after by collectors and whiskey enthusiasts.
