Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof

Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof is an uncut, unfiltered bourbon that offers a bold, authentic glimpse into the whiskey-making methods of a bygone era. Bottled straight from the barrel at over 125 proof, this powerful expression honors the uncompromising spirit of Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., a pioneer who helped shape the bourbon industry and modern distillation standards.
