E. H. Taylor and Chris Stapleton Partner for Charity

Buffalo Trace Distillery has released an E. H. Taylor, Jr. commemorative single barrel limited edition hand-selected by Grammy Award Winner Chris Stapleton in honor of the 125th passing of the Bottled in Bond Act. On March 3rd, 1897 the Bottled in Bond Act was passed to guarantee the quality of American whiskey.

The bottles will be sold to benefit Chris Stapleton’s charity, Outlaw State of Kind, and each bottle will be autographed by Chris Stapleton. Two prize packs are available for bidding now through March 17, 2022, on Charitybuzz:

• One bottle of E. H. Taylor Single Barrel with a commemorative sticker noting Bottled in Bond Day and partnership with Chris Stapleton; four tickets to Stapleton’s April 23, 2022 concert in Lexington, Ky; a VIP tour and tasting for four at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Ky; and E. H. Taylor, Jr. branded merchandise.

The remaining bottles will be used by Stapleton’s charitable fund Outlaw State of Kind throughout the year to raise funds for various causes.  Updates on fundraisers will be posted to the Outlaw State of Kind website.

The E. H. Taylor, Jr. Single Barrel was distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery and put in the barrel on June 3, 2009.  Bottled in mid-February, this bourbon is over 12 years of age, and like the act, its namesake fought so hard to pass, is Bottled in Bond at 100 proof.

Like the other E. H. Taylor, Jr. releases, this Single Barrel is packaged with elements of Taylor’s original bottlings from the turn of the 20th century, a vintage label bearing his signature and a distinct canister reminiscent of Taylor’s whiskey package from over one hundred years ago.  The canister gives a nod to this unique bottling with a commemorative sticker noting the 125th anniversary of Bottled in Bond Day and the partnership with Chris Stapleton.
