On the deck of a ship anchored at sunset, the crystal glass vibrates gently in the palm of your hand. The amber liquid reflects tones of copper and honey, and each olfactory note opens a story – about craftsmanship, patience and the courage to innovate without forgetting tradition. That’s the promise of Buffalo Trace’s newest creation: E.H. Taylor, Jr. Distillery Council bourbon – a refined blend born from the collaboration of an entire council of master distillers.
Buffalo Trace, a distillery with deep roots and contemporary ambitions
Buffalo Trace, the longest-running and arguably the most awarded bourbon producer in the United States, is building its legacy step by step, and the release of this special edition is a bow to both the past and the future. The new E.H. Taylor, Jr. Distillery Council isn’t just a whiskey; is the manifesto of a team that embodies the spirit of Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., one of the founding figures of modern bourbon.
Taylor pioneered the concept of “bottled-in-bond” and a fervent supporter of unwavering quality. The new bourbon honors this legacy with a blend that combines five of the best recipes from Buffalo Trace, selected and harmonized by a board of master blenders and distillers.
What does this blend actually mean?
In a world where the notion of “small batch” is increasingly common, the E.H. Taylor Distillery Council brings something truly special: a bourbon matured to perfect equilibrium, combining rare recipes – including rye and wheat-based variants – with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker. There is no age specified on the label, but each component has been carefully selected to create an aromatic profile that invites contemplation, not just consumption.
The result is a multi-layered experience: intense aromas of burnt caramel, vanilla and licorice, complemented by subtle notes of tobacco, candied fruit and pink pepper. In the mouth, bourbon has a velvety texture with a complexity that evolves in waves. The long, elegant finish is the signature of a craftsmanship taken to the extreme.
A spirit designed for connoisseurs
While many producers are racing to meet the explosive demand in the global bourbon market, Buffalo Trace is playing a different game. The Distillery Council is not a supermarket label or an “instant collectible” product. It is a whiskey created with care and patience for those who know that true refinement is felt in the details: in the olfactory balance, in the texture on the roof of the mouth, in the story that accompanies each bottle.
And yes, it’s a limited edition – which inevitably turns it into a style statement. Whether you open it on a quiet evening aboard a yacht anchored off the Amalfi or keep it in your library of collectible spirits, the Distillery Council is more than just a bourbon. It is a companion.

A toast to the future of bourbon – and modern sophistication
The launch of this blend comes at a time when the world of fine spirits is trying to reinvent itself, and new generations of connoisseurs are looking for authentic products, with story and substance. The Distillery Council responds to this need not only through quality, but also through collaboration – a council of masters, not just a singular creator.
In an age of individualism, Buffalo Trace is a reminder of what collective excellence means. A lesson to remember – with the glass in hand.
