Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon (BTAC Fall 2025) 750ml is the first new addition to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection since Thomas H. Handy joined the lineup in 2006. Aged 15 years and 4 months in Buffalo Trace Distillery warehouses and hand-bottled at 100 proof to meet strict Bottled-in-Bond standards, this limited 2025 release stands out as one of the most historically significant modern BTAC bottles.

The nose opens with warm vanilla, seasoned oak, charred undertones, and a drizzle of maple sweetness. On the palate, balanced sweetness and baking spice mingle with gentle wood notes. The lingering finish carries oak and vanilla into soft caramel with a hint of cherry.
