About Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Batch #11 Bourbon Whiskey Crafted from hand-selected barrels, this bourbon is bottled uncut, straight from the barrel; unfiltered and unadulterated at over 125 proof. This technique is reminiscent of the way whiskey was produced in the days before Prohibition, when Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was the owner of Buffalo Trace Distillery. Drawn from barrels aged in rickhouses constructed by Taylor over a century ago, the spirit is incredibly smooth. This outstanding bourbon won a Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Pick up a bottle of this bourbon today!
