Colonel EH Taylor Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

One of the most coveted limited releases in American whiskey, the Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon is a masterclass in grain complexity and barrel craft. Produced at the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this exceptional bourbon uses a rare mash bill of four grains — corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — to create a whiskey of remarkable depth, balance, and character. A true collector's bottle.

The E.H. Taylor Legacy

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. is one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller and legislator, Taylor was instrumental in passing the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which established the first federal quality standards for American whiskey. The E.H. Taylor line from Buffalo Trace honors his legacy with small-batch, meticulously crafted releases that represent the pinnacle of Kentucky bourbon.

Tasting Profile

Opens with an inviting, complex aroma of rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and caramel corn. The palate delivers remarkable depth — layers of grain complexity, subtle smokiness, and well-integrated oak tannins. The four grains interact beautifully with the charred oak barrel, maintaining a smooth, even balance throughout. The finish is long, warm, and deeply satisfying. Unique, refined, and unmistakably Taylor.

Why Four Grain?

Most bourbons use a three-grain mash bill. The addition of a fourth grain — wheat alongside the traditional corn, rye, and malted barley — adds a layer of softness and complexity that sets this release apart. It's a rare expression that showcases Buffalo Trace's mastery of grain selection and barrel aging, and one of the most sought-after limited releases in the Taylor lineup.

Collector's Notes

The Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain is a limited annual release with extremely restricted allocation. Bottles are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to allow the full complexity to unfold.
