Sensory Tasting Notes
The Nose
Delicate caramel and dried fruit lead, with a bright citrus lift and a faint floral note from the specially seasoned oak.
The Palate
Soft and balanced, carrying butterscotch, toasted almond, and citrus zest over gentle oak tannin; the seasoning process noticeably softens what would typically be a firmer bonded-proof structure.
The Finish
Medium length, closing on spicy clove and a lingering, well-rounded aftertaste with none of the harshness common to standard 100-proof bonded releases.
The Heritage
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. co-authored the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 to combat widespread whiskey adulteration, a law this expression honors literally by carrying the bonded designation on its label. Seasoned Wood marked Buffalo Trace’s first experiment with treating barrel staves before construction rather than after, using enzyme baths and extended air-seasoning to draw different characteristics from the same wood, and its one-time-only 2016 release has made it one of the more overlooked but increasingly hard-to-find bottles in the wider E.H. Taylor collector market.
