Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr.?

Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. (1830–1923) is widely regarded as the father of the modern bourbon industry. A visionary distiller, businessman, and politician, he built some of the most iconic aging warehouses at what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery and championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the first federal consumer protection law for spirits, establishing strict quality standards that still define premium bourbon today.

What does Bottled-in-Bond mean?

Bottled-in-Bond means the bourbon was produced in a single distilling season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. It is one of the highest quality designations in American whiskey — and a standard that Colonel Taylor himself fought to establish.
