{"product_id":"eh-taylor-cured-oak-2026","title":"EH Taylor Cured Oak 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eE.H. Taylor Cured Oak returns in 2026 after more than a decade away from the lineup — and it was worth the wait. This release is defined by its barrel: white oak staves air-dried for 13 months, more than double the standard six-month curing time. That extended seasoning draws out deeper tannins and terpenes before a single drop of bourbon ever enters the wood, creating a character shaped by the barrel itself rather than age alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrels aged in \u003cstrong\u003eWarehouse C\u003c\/strong\u003e, built by Colonel Taylor himself in 1885 — one of Buffalo Trace's most prized aging locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginally released in 2015 with a 17-year age statement; this 2026 edition steps down to \u003cstrong\u003e10 years\u003c\/strong\u003e — intentional, to showcase the extra-seasoned barrels at their most balanced point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled as a \u003cstrong\u003eBottled-in-Bond\u003c\/strong\u003e bourbon: 100 proof, one distillery, one distilling season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rare, non-annual release — not a regular lineup item\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted oak, caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, leather, and baking spice with a touch of tobacco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and layered — the same notes deepen with warmth and complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, dry, and oak-driven with a satisfying fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, KY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (50% ABV) — Bottled-in-Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-seasoned white oak (13-month air-dried staves)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deep cut for serious E.H.
