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.

What Sets 18 Year Marriage Apart?

• 🛢️ Blended from three distinct mash bills

• 🕰️ Aged 18 years in new American oak barrels

• ⚖️ Bottled-in-Bond at 100 proof (50% ABV)

• 🧴 Presented in the iconic Taylor tube with a gold label

• 🏆 Extremely limited — one-time release from 2020

This release was a bold experiment in long-term aging and mash bill blending and it paid off with critical acclaim and explosive secondary market demand.

Why It Stands Out

• Aged for 18 years for deep character.
• Crafted from a blend of three bourbon mash bills.
• Bottled-in-Bond for authenticity and quality.
• Limited edition, making it a collector’s dream.

Its aging process and craftsmanship result in a smooth yet complex bourbon experience.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Deep vanilla, seasoned oak, leather, and butterscotch

• Palate: Rich toffee, tobacco, baking spice, and dried fig

• Finish: Incredibly long, dry, and layered with mature oak and peppery heat

It’s powerful, elegant, and unmistakably premium ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate complexity and balance.

How to Enjoy It

To savor this bourbon at its best:

• Neat: Experience the full depth of flavors.
• On the Rocks: Slight dilution enhances complexity.
• With a Splash of Water: Opens up subtle notes.

Conclusion

Colonel E.H. Taylor 18 Year Marriage 750ml is a masterpiece of bourbon craftsmanship. Its rarity and rich profile make it a must-have for collectors and whiskey lovers alike.
