Colonel E.H. Taylor E.H. Taylor, Jr. Bottled in Bond 15-year-old is a Kentucky straight bourbon with a stated age of 15 years and bottled at 50.0% ABV under the Bottled-in-Bond designation. For a new drinker, that usually means a fuller, more structured style with clear oak influence from extended maturation.
As an older bourbon, it is likely to emphasize the classic bourbon balance of sweetness, spice, vanilla, and seasoned wood rather than a light or youthful profile. Expect a richer, more mature presentation than younger bottlings, with oak playing a more central role.
