Taylor Small Batch is a Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Buffalo Trace, aged in century-old warehouses Taylor himself built and bottled at 100 proof — a true sipping bourbon with notes of oak, dried fruit, salted caramel, butterscotch, and orange.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely called the father of the modern bourbon industry. After purchasing the O.F.C. Distillery in Leestown in 1869, he introduced innovations — copper fermentation tanks, column stills, and a steam heating system still used in barrel warehouses today — and championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act that guaranteed bourbon's purity. This Small Batch expression honors that legacy, drawn from barrels selected for a distinctive, balanced character and presented behind a vintage label and canister reminiscent of Taylor's era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak and dried fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel-corn sweetness with butterscotch, salted caramel, and licorice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft mouthfeel turning to subtle pepper and tobacco spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Bottled-in-Bond, Small Batch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Century-old brick warehouses built by E.H.
