TASTING PROFILE
Buy E.H. Taylor Small Batch 750ml and you’re getting the whiskey that launched Buffalo Trace’s tribute line to Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. in 2011, built from the same low-rye mash bill used for Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace, and George T. Stagg but bottled at a firmer bonded proof.

Sensory Tasting Notes
The Nose
Caramel and cherry candy lead, with vanilla wafer and a subtle oak note that opens into butterscotch and toasted grain.
The Palate
Syrupy, full mouthfeel carrying caramel and butterscotch with a punchy kick from the 100 proof; red fruit and a light alcohol bite round out the sip.
The Finish
Medium-to-long, closing on dark red fruit and thick caramel that turns to gingersnap, peppercorn, and sweet mint as it fades.
The Heritage
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. founded what became Buffalo Trace after the Civil War and later co-authored the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, a consumer-protection law this bottle honors directly by carrying the bonded designation on its label. As the entry point into the wider E.H. Taylor collection — which also includes Single Barrel, Barrel Proof, and Straight Rye — Small Batch has developed a reputation among enthusiasts as one of the best value bottles in Buffalo Trace’s allocated lineup, frequently recommended over harder-to-find peers like Blanton’s at a comparable or lower price.
