Taylor Small Batch \u0026amp; Eagle Rare Bundle pairs two of Buffalo Trace's most sought-after allocated bourbons — both drawn from the distillery's low-rye Mash #1, then taken in entirely different directions. It's the cleanest way to taste what proof and age do to the same underlying whiskey, and it puts two bottles that rarely sit on a shelf into a single order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch\u003c\/strong\u003e is Bottled in Bond at exactly 100 proof — distilled in a single season, aged a minimum of four years, and bottled under federal supervision. The barrels are pulled from Warehouse C, the century-old rickhouse Colonel Taylor built himself in 1881. The nose opens on chocolate, molasses and brown sugar, with sweet cherry and light cinnamon underneath. The palate is dense and candied — stone fruit, dark grape and pepper — before a creamy finish turns dry and leathery with white pepper and dried apricot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEagle Rare\u003c\/strong\u003e takes the same mash bill and sits it in oak for a minimum of ten years, then bottles it at a gentler 90 proof. Age does the work here: toffee, candied almond and orange peel on the nose, a palate of vanilla, dark cherry and toasted oak, and a long dry finish with leather and cocoa. Where the Taylor is bold and sweet, the Eagle Rare is restrained and woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eTaste them side by side and the contrast is the point — one bourbon, two philosophies, roughly six years and ten proof points apart. Both are true sipping whiskeys, best neat or with a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eBoth bottles are allocated releases secured through our distributor network. When this batch sells through, it's gone until the next allocation. Ships within 48 hours, insured, with adult-signature delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-12\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-8\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eWhat is the Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch \u0026amp; Eagle Rare Bourbon Bundle?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bundle combines Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch, a Bottled in Bond Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery honoring distilling pioneer E.H. Taylor Jr., with Eagle Rare, another Buffalo Trace bourbon using the same Mash #1 recipe (high corn, low rye). Both are aged in historic warehouses and selected for their distinctive profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eWhat are the key specs of each bottle?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eE.H. Taylor Small Batch is 100 proof (50% ABV), Bottled in Bond (at least 4 years old, often around 7), from Buffalo Trace's low-rye Mash #1 in a 750ml bottle. Eagle Rare shares the same Mash #1, is aged a minimum of 10 years, and is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). Both are produced in Frankfort, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eHow should you drink them?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are true sipping bourbons, best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the caramel, butterscotch, oak and spice in the E.H. Taylor and the vanilla, cherry and toasted nut in the Eagle Rare. Mixing is not recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eWhat makes this bundle special?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a rare chance to taste one mash bill two ways. E.H. Taylor Small Batch stands out for its Bottled in Bond status and its barrels from the warehouse Taylor built — he helped pass the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act itself. Eagle Rare complements it as a highly allocated, deeply aged and balanced sipper from the same recipe, making the pair a genuine collector's set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Los Andes - FW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48003272081656,"sku":"80064","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_5iwr4r5iwr4r5iwr.png?v=1771461794","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/e-h-taylor-small-batch-eagle-rare-bourbon-bundle","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
