Taylor devotees, Cured Oak is a deep cut: one of the most coveted bottlings in the lineup, absent for more than a decade. Originally released in 2015 with a 17-year age statement, it became a secondary-market grail commanding $3,999 or more. Its 2026 return arrives as a rare, limited offering rather than an annual release.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat sets Cured Oak apart is the wood. Buffalo Trace seasons its standard staves for about six months; these were air-dried for 13. That longer curing draws more tannin and terpene development out of the oak before the distillate ever enters the barrel, meaning the wood has more to give. The result is a more layered bourbon shaped by the barrel rather than by age alone.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 2026 edition steps down from the original's 17-year statement to 10 years — a change collectors will note. Master distiller Harlen Wheatley has been clear that age was never the point: for this release, the distillery felt the 10-year mark delivered an exceptionally balanced bourbon while still showcasing the influence of the extra-seasoned barrels.

Wheated bourbons — a style later followed by Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny — carry a softer, gentler, slightly sweeter profile than rye-based bourbons.

Weller 700ml 12 Year Bourbon Gold Foil","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter serving in the Louisville Brigade during the Mexican-American war, William Larue Weller returned home to his native Kentucky. His family had helped settle Kentucky in the late 18th century, and his grandfather, Daniel Weller, purchased a distillery in Nelson County in 1800. (When Daniel Weller died, his estate was inventoried and was said to contain three whiskey barrels, two stills, one mash kettle and numerous dry kegs.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUpon his return to Kentucky following the war, W.L. Weller joined the family business and began working at his grandfather's distillery. Weller had a sharp palate and a keen sense for business and in 1849, he introduced the first bourbon ever that used wheat as its secondary grain instead of rye. Wheated bourbons (including Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny Bourbon, which eventually imitated W.L. Weller's mashbill) have a softer and more gentle flavor profile as compared to bourbons that use rye as their secondary grain. Wheated bourbons also have a slightly sweeter taste. Weller's bourbon was incredibly popular in antebellum America and ultimately forced him to place a green thumbprint on his invoices and barrels as a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMade in homage to one of bourbon's original aristocrats, W.L. Weller 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon continues to be crafted using Weller's wheated bourbon recipe. Aged for a minimum of 12 years, far longer than most wheated bourbons. This whiskey features aromas of creamy vanilla, caramel and molasses that gives way to notes of candied corn, ripe fruits, cocoa powder and dried fruits on the palate. With a finish, which is elegant and soft, has hints of mint, fruit and vanilla this wheated bourbon is not to be overlooked. W.L. Weller 12 Year Old Bourbon earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"views-field views-field-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"field-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"views-field views-field-field-tasting\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"views-label views-label-field-tasting\"\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"field-content\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eAromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla.

Taylor Single Barrel is a Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace — 100 proof, single barrel, aged in Warehouse C, the warehouse that Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. himself built in 1881 and that remains one of the most celebrated aging structures in American whiskey.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eColonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. is widely considered the father of the modern bourbon industry. He purchased what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1869, implementing innovations that defined bourbon production for generations: copper fermentation tanks, column stills, a modernized sour mash technique, and climate-controlled aging warehouses. Most significantly, Taylor championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the federal standard that guaranteed single-distillery, single-season production and 100-proof bottling — to protect bourbon's integrity against adulterated spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe E.H. Taylor Single Barrel honors that legacy directly. Each release is drawn from a single barrel hand-selected from Warehouse C, bottled at exactly 100 proof under the Bottled-in-Bond standard Taylor fought to establish. The classic label design replicates Taylor's original bottle aesthetic from over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eNose: Lightly toasted oak, dried figs, and butterscotch with warm caramel.

Taylor?\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eBottled in Bond requires single-distillery, single-season production, minimum four years aging in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottling at exactly 100 proof.

Taylor himself in 1881.
