Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA | Bottled in Bond | Limited 2018 Release | Four Grain Mash Bill

Process & Profile
Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 2018 Release 750mL is a limited Bottled in Bond bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery built around a four grain recipe using corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. Unlike the distillery’s more familiar rye-forward or wheated mash bills, this release was created to combine the qualities Buffalo Trace liked most from both styles into one whiskey. That concept gave the bottle a unique place in the E.H. Taylor lineup and made it one of the more talked-about modern special releases from the brand.

The 2018 bottling continued the Four Grain concept as a hard-to-find spring release, presented in the vintage-style label and canister format associated with the Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. collection. As a Bottled in Bond bourbon, it carries the structure and credibility that serious bourbon buyers expect, but the real draw is the flavor profile. Instead of leaning heavily spicy or heavily soft, it lands in a middle ground that feels sweeter, more layered, and more distinctive than many standard Buffalo Trace releases. For shoppers searching for Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey 2018 Release 750mL, limited E.H. Taylor bourbon, or Bottled in Bond collector bottles, this is a standout release with real historical interest and strong collector appeal.
