Description
Colonel E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Colonel E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most exclusive and historically significant releases ever produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery. Created to honor the enduring legacy of Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., this ultra-rare bourbon represents the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, innovation, and long-term aging in American whiskey.
This exceptional expression is a 100-proof Bottled-in-Bond straight bourbon composed of three distinct mash bills: a wheated bourbon, Rye Mash Bill #1, and Rye Mash Bill #2. Each component was barreled in 2002 and aged independently for a full 18 years before being expertly married together. The result is a singular, limited-edition bourbon that showcases balance, depth, and complexity rarely seen in modern releases.
Tasting Notes and Flavor Profile
On the nose, Colonel E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage Bourbon opens with pronounced aromas of seasoned oak, toasted caramel, and dark dried fruit. The palate delivers a refined harmony of vanilla, baking spice, leather, and honeyed grain, followed by subtle undertones of tobacco and charred oak. The finish is long, warm, and layered, with lingering spice, oak sweetness, and elegant maturity that reflects its extended aging.
