Concerning E.H. Taylor, Jr. bourbon for sale

Taylor acquired a tiny distillery on the Kentucky River’s banks in 1869. Taylor started updating and modernizing the distillery after naming it O.F.C. Distillery (OFC stood for Old Fire Copper). He bought copper fermentation tanks, new grain grinding machinery, and distinctive columnar stills. Taylor also used a number of cutting-edge distillation methods during his time there, such as maturing bourbon in climate-controlled rickhouses.

The vast majority of distilleries at the time had yet to age their whiskey. Some distillers and retailers sweetened their bourbon with juices and syrups to make it more drinkable, while others added tobacco and acid to give the whiskey its distinctive amber color.

Equipped with a political background and distilling expertise, Taylor worked with Treasury Secretary John G. Carlisle to help enact the Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 (27 C.F.R. 5.21). Any spirit bearing the labels “Bonded” or “Bottled-in-Bond” had to be produced by a single distiller at a single distillery during a single distillation season, according to the act. The Act also mandated that bonded spirits be bottled at 100 proof and matured for at least four years in a federally bonded storage overseen by the US government.
