There are bourbons… and then there’s E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch.
No noise. No gimmicks. Just a bottle that does its job — properly.
And now it’s been recognised for it.
World’s Best Small Batch Bourbon - World Whiskies Awards 2026.
Built on Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill #1, this is where that low-rye profile shows its hand, richer, rounder, and driven by oak and sweetness over spice.
Caramel. Toffee. Firm oak.
Everything in line. Nothing out of place.
This is about getting the fundamentals right - and doing it consistently.
Small batch, the way it should be:
Barrel selection with intent, blended for balance, and left alone once it’s there.
In a lineup full of big names and bigger hype, this is the one that holds the standard.
Same DNA.
No shortcuts.
Now, officially the best at it.
