Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Bottled-in-Bond marks a tectonic shift in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). Released in the fall of 2025, this 15-year-old expression is the first new addition to the prestigious BTAC lineup since 2006. It serves as a structural tribute to Taylor himself—the primary architect of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act—elevating the BIB designation to the apex tier of American whiskey collecting.

The 2025 E.H. Taylor BIB is a foundational asset for vertical collectors—it is the first commercial BTAC expansion in nearly twenty years. As the inaugural bottling year for this new branch of the Antique Collection, it carries substantial long-term appreciation potential. It is also the longest-age-stated Taylor release in years, sitting just behind the legendary 18 Year Marriage. Every bottle offered here is verified for pristine label integrity and includes the original BTAC presentation packaging. Provenance is strictly authenticated to ensure total transparency for the secondary market.

This ultra-aged Bottled-in-Bond bourbon is best appreciated neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature. The 100-proof delivery is expertly integrated with the 15-year fruit weight, requiring no dilution. If preferred, a few drops of limestone water may be added to open the floral and maple aromatics, but we recommend avoiding ice to preserve the delicate mid-palate structure.
