Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Seasoned Wood is a profound outlier in the Buffalo Trace catalog. Released in 2016 as a one-time limited edition, it is the only Taylor expression built on the legendary W-1 wheated recipe—the same DNA found in W.L. Weller and Pappy Van Winkle. This Bottled-in-Bond masterpiece explores the chemical synergy between three distinct stave seasoning techniques and the delicate, buttery nature of wheated bourbon.

Seasoned Wood is a high-conviction target for Buffalo Trace enthusiasts primarily because it is the only "Wheated Taylor" in existence. Its rarity is compounded by the 2016 production date and the fact that it shares the same wooden crate format as the legendary Cured Oak. Vertical collectors prioritize this bottle to complete the "experimental wood" triad alongside Four Grain and Amaranth. Every bottle offered here is verified for original seal integrity and includes the signature vintage-label canister and wooden presentation box where specified.

This historic wheated bourbon is best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature. The complex stave seasoning and delicate honeyed base are most legible without dilution. Due to its status as a one-time vintage release with Pappy-adjacent DNA, it is designed for slow, contemplative appreciation rather than cocktail use.
