Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 2017 Batch

2017 Batch. Four Grain. Bottled-in-Bond. Colonel E.H. Taylor — the 2017 release of the Four Grain expression in Buffalo Trace’s Colonel E.H. Taylor special release program, presenting a four-grain mash bill — corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — at Bottled-in-Bond standards from one of the most allocated annual release programs in American whiskey.

The E.H. Taylor special release program produces a small number of annual limited expressions beyond the core Small Batch and Single Barrel: Four Grain, Amaranth, Seasoned Wood, Cured Oak, and others. The Four Grain is among the most sought-after in the series, presenting a four-grain layered character within the legal BiB framework at 100 proof. The 2017 and 2018 Four Grain batches are both in the current Wooden Cork collection, offering a two-vintage comparison of consecutive annual releases from the same program.
