For the second release from our celebrated Cellar Collection, we've selected our finest 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon from our oldest stocks and finished it in tawny port barrels for 10 months to create a uniquely complex, high-proof whiskey. Tawny port was once considered to be the queen of port wines, and the mellow flavors from these tawny oak barrels perfectly complement the complexity of our 10-year bourbon. In honor of these exquisitely refined flavors, we've chosen the symbol of the queen to commemorate our second rare and remarkable Cellar Collection release. Our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Tawny Port Wine Barrels is available exclusively for 500 Main members from January 31st until February 7th. Beginning February 8th, it will be available at our distillery and a handful of select retailers.

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely considered one of the founding fathers of the bourbon industry, fighting for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, nearly three decades after he purchased what is now called Buffalo Trace Distillery. During his time, Taylor implemented several innovative methods still used today, including climate controlled aging warehouses. Many of the barrels selected for the E.H. Taylor, Jr. Single Barrel are aged in Warehouse C, which was built by Taylor in 1881 and proven to be an excellent aging warehouse. Each barrel is hand-picked and Bottled in Bond at 100 proof to honor its namesake.
