Bottled History. Bourbon Royalty.

Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch isn’t just bourbon, it’s American heritage in a bottle. Crafted in the same limestone-rich grounds where Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. revolutionized bourbon-making in the 1800s, this rare 75cl edition is the first and only one of its kind at Singlemalt Ph. Bottled in bond, aged inside century-old warehouses, and wrapped in nostalgic grandeur, this is what bourbon looked like before the hype.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Robust and full, sweet corn, caramel, and fresh baked pie crust dusted with cinnamon. There’s a floral lift that nods to heritage rickhouses and Kentucky summers.

Palate:
Balanced yet bold. Creamy vanilla, butterscotch, and dried fruit meet cracked pepper, old oak, and orange peel. A layered profile that unfolds slowly, like reading an old letter in perfect cursive.

Finish:
Warm and lingering. Notes of tobacco, leather, and toasted sugar melt into a soft, dry finish. It doesn’t fade, it settles with weight and dignity.

Crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery, it’s made in small batches using traditional sour mash, and each barrel is selected for balance, depth, and harmony. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just the gold standard of American whiskey.
