Product description
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor was a 19th Century distiller, banker and politician, who pushed for the passage of Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, a piece of legislation, which set the industry standards.
Due to flood of counterfeit whiskey in 1897 the US Congress passed Bottled-in-Bond Act, which required that the whiskey inside the bottle has come from a single distillery and was produced within one season (January to June or July to December). Moreover the whiskey had to be aged in bonded warehouse under federal supervision for a minimum of four years and bottled at 100 Proof (50% abv). Since 2009 the E.H. Taylor brand has been owned by Sazerac Company, who acquired it from Jim Beam Brands; the latter marketed the brand as Old Taylor.
