134.5 proof. Batch 1. 2012. Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof — the founding batch of the annual Barrel Proof program, the highest-proof expression across the three in-stock EHT Barrel Proof batches, and from the program’s inaugural year when the concept of a BiB cask strength E.H. Taylor expression was first established.
Batch 1 at 134.5 proof is 6.4 proof points above Batch 5 (2016, 127.5) and 5.5 above Batch 11 (2022, 129.0) — the highest-proof of the three current collection EHT Barrel Proof expressions by a significant margin. As the founding batch of a program that has now released over a decade of annual limited editions, Batch 1 carries the historical significance of the program’s inaugural expression. The 2012 production year is over a decade removed from any primary distribution and is the oldest vintage in the three-batch EHT Barrel Proof collection.
