Description

129.0 proof. Batch 11. 2022. Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof — the 2022 annual release, the eleventh batch in the series and one of two Barrel Proof batches in the current Wooden Cork collection alongside Batch 5 (2016, 127.5 proof).

The E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof program releases a single annual batch of Bottled-in-Bond cask strength bourbon — meeting both the BiB standard (single distillery, single season, 100 proof minimum, bonded warehouse) and presenting it at natural barrel proof above that threshold. At 129.0 proof, Batch 11 is 1.5 proof points above Batch 5 (127.5), the other Taylor Barrel Proof in the collection, placing it in the same high-concentration tier. Together they document two points in the Barrel Proof program’s first decade of releases.
