Taylor Barrel Proof Rye","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUncut. Unfiltered. Barrel proof. Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Rye — Buffalo Trace's homage to the man who created the federal quality standard for American whiskey, delivered at natural barrel strength without dilution or filtration.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eColonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. was one of the most significant figures in 19th-century American bourbon history. A prominent distiller and businessman who owned multiple Kentucky distilleries including the Old Fire Copper (OFC) Distillery — what is now Buffalo Trace — Taylor championed quality standards in an era of rampant adulteration. His most lasting contribution was lobbying for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which established the first federal consumer protection standards in American spirits: single distillery, single season, four-plus years aging, 100 proof, government-supervised bonded warehouse. The BiB standard he fought for remains the most rigorous production certification in American whiskey 125 years later.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Rye applies Taylor's philosophy of transparency and quality to Kentucky straight rye whiskey at its most direct — uncut, unfiltered, at natural barrel proof. No dilution, no filtration, no compromise. The rye's natural grain spice, dried fruit, and caramel character delivered at maximum intensity, exactly as it emerged from the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich amber with the concentration of barrel-proof rye whiskey.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold rye spice, dried fruit, vanilla, and caramel at natural barrel strength — the E.H.

He championed whiskey quality standards and lobbied for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the first federal consumer protection law in American spirits history.

Taylor Rye (BiB)?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard E.H. Taylor Rye is Bottled-in-Bond at exactly 100 proof — the standard Taylor championed. The Barrel Proof Rye is at natural barrel strength without dilution to 100 proof — the more intense, uncut version of the same rye program. The irony is elegant: the most uncompromising expression is named for the man who standardized 100 proof.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes E.H.

Taylor line uses Buffalo Trace's high-rye mashbill aged in Taylor's namesake Warehouse C — a century-old brick warehouse that Taylor himself built, which produces distinctive barrel cycling characteristics due to its construction.
