Old Taylor
Old Taylor is a brand of bourbon whiskey produced in the United States. The brand was first established in the late 19th century by E.H. Taylor Jr., a significant figure in the history of bourbon production in Kentucky.
History[edit | edit source]
The Old Taylor brand was established in 1887 by E.H. Taylor Jr., a descendant of two U.S. presidents and a pioneer in the bourbon industry. Taylor was instrumental in the passage of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which set strict quality standards for bourbon and helped to establish its reputation as a uniquely American spirit.
The Old Taylor distillery, located in Millville, Kentucky, was known for its castle-like architecture and extensive gardens, which were designed to attract tourists and promote the brand. The distillery was one of the largest in the world at the time of its construction, with a capacity of 20,000 barrels per year.
Production[edit | edit source]
Old Taylor is a straight bourbon, meaning it is made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn and aged in new, charred oak barrels for a minimum of two years. The brand is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor and smooth finish.
The production process for Old Taylor involves several steps, including mashing, fermentation, distillation, and aging. The bourbon is then bottled at a variety of proofs, depending on the specific product line.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Old Taylor brand has had a significant impact on the bourbon industry and American whiskey culture. Its distillery was one of the first to promote bourbon tourism, a trend that continues today with the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The brand's commitment to quality and authenticity, as embodied in the Bottled-in-Bond Act, has also had a lasting influence on the industry.
