E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage — Rare Bottled-in-Bond Masterpiece
Colonel E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage
E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage is one of the rarest and most ambitious bourbons ever released by Buffalo Trace Distillery. This bottled-in-bond masterpiece blends three mash bills wheated, high rye, and standard and is aged a full 18 years, making it one of the most complex bourbons in the Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. lineup.
