E. H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery. This handcrafted bourbon is aged in century-old warehouses constructed by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., a pivotal figure in the bourbon industry.
The barrels are carefully selected to create a unique blend that honors Taylor's legacy. Tasting notes include caramel corn sweetness mingled with butterscotch and licorice, leading to a soft mouth-feel that transitions into subtle spices of pepper and tobacco.
Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Frankfort, Kentucky, is celebrated as the oldest continuously operating distillery in the United States, with a rich history of over 200 years. Founded by Colonel E. H. Taylor Jr. and later expanded under George T.
Stagg, the distillery has survived challenges such as floods, fires, and Prohibition, during which it produced whiskey for medicinal purposes. Today, it is known for its wide range of highly acclaimed bourbons and whiskeys, including Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Eagle Rare, and the Pappy Van Winkle line.
