History
E.H. Taylor Barrel-Aged Big Foot Bourbon is a limited edition hand-selected Kentucky bourbon barrel used to finish a 7-year vintage of Bigfoot Barley wine. It is crafted by a true innovator whose vision was ahead of his time. In 1869, E.H. Taylor acquired a small distillery located in Frankfurt, Kentucky, on the edge of the Kentucky River, originally named The Old Fire Copper Distillery. There, he began renovating and modernizing the plant by purchasing copper fermentation tanks, new grain grinding equipment, and unique columnar stills. Taylor implemented several innovative distilling techniques, including aging whiskey in climate-controlled Rick houses, setting a standard that would influence the industry. Other distilleries were adding juices and syrups to sweeten their bourbon, while others introduced acids and tobaccos. Instead, E.H. Taylor used his distilling experience and political connections to partner with Treasury Secretary John G. Carlisle. They were instrumental in passing the Bottled-In-Bond Act in 1897, ensuring the quality and authenticity of spirits. This fine bourbon, crafted from hand-selected barrels, is bottled directly from the barrel at more than 125 proof, representing the traditional methods of bourbon production before Prohibition, during the era when Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. owned Buffalo Trace Distillery.
