About E.H. Taylor Single Barrel
The E.H. Taylor, Jr. collection comes from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, named for Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., one of the founding fathers of the modern bourbon industry. Taylor built the distillery that grew into Buffalo Trace and was a champion of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This Single Barrel expression is a Kentucky straight bourbon drawn from one barrel at a time and bottled in bond at 100 proof, the standard Taylor himself helped establish. It is matured in the historic Warehouse C, which Taylor built in the 1880s, so each bottle carries a direct link to his legacy. Because it is a single barrel, every bottling has its own subtle character, but all of it is held to the strict bottled-in-bond standard: one distillery, one season, at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse.
Tasting Notes
This is an elegant, well-structured bourbon at 100 proof. Expect notes of lightly toasted oak, butterscotch, and dried fruit, with a balanced sweetness carried into a finish touched by gentle spice and tobacco. It is refined and full of character, made for slow, considered sipping.
What to Pair It With
A bourbon this nuanced is best enjoyed neat or over a single large cube so its single-barrel character can shine, ideally in our 21+ lounge after dinner. From the Sparrow dinner menu, it pairs wonderfully with the American Wagyu steaks or the Truffle Deviled Eggs.
