Process & Profile

Colonel E.H. Taylor Cured Oak Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a limited Bottled-in-Bond bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, created to highlight the influence of extended stave curing on mature Kentucky bourbon. Originally released in 2015 and reintroduced in 2026, this expression is aged for 10 years in barrels made from white oak staves that were air-dried for 13 months, more than twice the standard curing time for barrel staves.

This extended curing process allows the wood to season longer before barrel construction, helping the whiskey draw deeper oak character, richer spice, and more layered complexity during maturation. Made from Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill #1 and bottled at 100 proof, Colonel E.H. Taylor Cured Oak delivers a structured profile with caramel, dried fruit, tobacco, seasoned oak, vanilla, baking spice, leather, and warm sweetness.

Colonel E.H. Taylor Cured Oak Bourbon Whiskey is a strong choice for collectors, Buffalo Trace fans, Bottled-in-Bond bourbon drinkers, and anyone looking for a rare E.H. Taylor release with mature oak depth and historical appeal.
