Description
Overview
Colonel E.H. Taylor Seasoned Wood is one of the most innovative and rarest releases in the Buffalo Trace portfolio. This bourbon is the result of an experiment where the barrels were made from staves that were air-seasoned for 13 months, rather than the traditional 6. This extended seasoning process significantly impacts the wood’s composition, imparting a unique and complex flavor profile to the whiskey. Produced in extremely limited quantities, this is a highly collectible bottle that showcases the distillery’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of bourbon making.
