The Story
100 proof. Single season. The 2025 release of Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond — the most current annual edition of the expression that honors the man who lobbied for the federal standard it exemplifies.
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the first federal consumer protection law in American spirits history. The BiB standard requires single distillery, single distilling season, minimum four years aging, exactly 100 proof, and federally bonded government-supervised warehouse production. Every E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond is a direct tribute to that standard, meeting every requirement Taylor fought to establish 128 years ago.
The 2025 is the most current release and most accessible current-vintage E.H. Taylor BiB available.
