The 2025 release of Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon is a landmark entry in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection—the first new permanent addition to BTAC in nearly two decades, and the first bottled-in-bond expression the collection has ever included. Distilled at Buffalo Trace from the historic low-rye Mash Bill No. 1 and matured for fifteen years and four months before bottling at 100 proof under the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this release honors the legacy of E.H. Taylor Jr., the father of modern bourbon regulation.

Expect a deep, mature nose of caramelized brown sugar, seasoned oak, dark cherry, and baking spice with a distinct note of leather and tobacco leaf. The palate is rich and layered: toffee, fig, rye bread, clove, and a deep char-oak core from fifteen-plus years in the rickhouse. The finish is long, dry, and intricate, with lingering dark fruit, cedar, and a clean bonded-bourbon structure.

This is a sipping bottle, full stop—neat in a Glencairn, or with a single large rock when the oak tannin calls for it. An allocation-only release and a cornerstone bottle for BTAC collectors.

Extremely limited stock at Liquor Geeks—ships with signature required.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This 2025 release is a new permanent member of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, and a historic one. It is the first new permanent addition to BTAC in nearly two decades and the first bottled-in-bond expression the collection has ever included. Distilled at Buffalo Trace from the low-rye Mash Bill No. 1, it matured fifteen years and four months before bottling at 100 proof under the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, a fitting tribute to E.H. Taylor Jr., the father of modern bourbon regulation. In the glass it is deep and mature: caramelized brown sugar, dark cherry and leather on the nose, then toffee, fig, clove and a char-oak core, closing long and dry with tobacco, cedar and pepper. It rewards slow sipping, so it suits the BTAC collector and the seasoned bourbon drinker best, and it also makes a memorable introduction to the E.H. Taylor lineup. We carry it because bottles that mark a real moment in a collection's history are exactly what our shelves are for.

Pairs well with

Grilled steak — The seasoned oak, pepper and tobacco on the finish stand up to a charred, well-marbled cut.
Pecan pie — Toffee, butterscotch and caramelized brown sugar echo the pie's nutty, caramel sweetness.
BTAC collector tasting night — Its deep layers of dark cherry, leather, fig and char-oak give a room of serious bourbon drinkers plenty to discuss.
