What’s a Fair Price for This Buffalo Trace Whiskey?

First released in 2013, E.H. Taylor Small Batch is the entry-level expression in the Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. collection of American whiskeys.

Small Batch is a sought-after bourbon made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky and, for drinkers of a certain age, it’s worth noting that E.H. Taylor is a different brand than Old Taylor.

Both are made by Buffalo Trace and both are named after the Colonel, but the former is a premium to super-premium brand while the latter is more modest (yet even more difficult to find).

Who makes E.H. Taylor Small Batch?

The whiskey is produced and made at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Unlike some of the distillery’s brand portfolio — such as Weller, George T. Stagg or Pappy Van Winkle — the E.H. Taylor line was created by Buffalo Trace and not gained through acquisition.

Is E.H. Taylor Small Batch rare?

Yes and no. It is the most accessible and affordable of all E.H. Taylor expressions, but none of the E.H. Taylor expressions are associated with accessibility or affordability.

Because Small Batch is the cornerstone item in the brand’s permanent collection, you will find it more often than limited one-off expressions from the brand, but it’s unlikely your liquor store will have bottles of Small Batch year-round.
