Our take on the Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bourbon

Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch is a 100-proof Kentucky straight bourbon bottled in bond, made at Buffalo Trace from a mash bill of corn, rye and malted barley. It is known for a sweet, caramel-and-butterscotch profile with a long finish, and it is a common entry point into the E.H. Taylor line. The best new price is $59.99 at Rare Tequilas as of November 5, 2026, with two stores listing it new. That is above the $40 to $50 range the bottle carried at retail before allocation made it scarce, so it is a fair price only if you want it now rather than a bargain.

Questions and answers

Is Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch worth $59.99?
It is a solid 100-proof bonded bourbon, but $59.99 at Rare Tequilas as of November 5, 2026 is above its old $40 to $50 retail. Buy it if you want it now; otherwise wait for a store selling closer to list.
How does it compare to Buffalo Trace?
Same distillery and a similar sweet, caramel profile, but Small Batch is 100 proof versus 90 for standard Buffalo Trace. Expect more body and a longer finish.
Is it good for beginners?
Yes. The caramel and butterscotch notes are easy to like, and 100 proof is manageable neat or with a few drops of water.
What is bottled in bond?
It means at least four years old, 100 proof, and made by one distillery in one season. The label states the proof and that it is bonded.
How should I store it?
Keep the bottle upright, corked and out of direct sunlight at room temperature. It does not age in the bottle.
