Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Batch 3 129.0 Proof 2014
Description
129.0 proof. Batch 3. 2014. Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof — the third annual release in Buffalo Trace’s Barrel Proof Taylor series, presenting a 6.4-proof drop from Batch 2 (135.4) that reflects natural year-over-year variation in barrel proof concentration.
The E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof program’s proof variation across batches — 134.5, 135.4, 129.0, 127.5 across Batches 1–2 and 3, 5 — documents how different distillation seasons and barrel aging trajectories produce different natural proofs even within the same BiB format and program. Batch 3 at 129.0 is the first expression in the series to drop below 130 proof, still well within cask strength territory.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does proof vary between batches? Each batch draws from a different distillation season’s barrels — natural barrel proof varies by aging conditions, warehouse position, and seasonal temperature cycling. The E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof program presents each batch at its actual natural proof rather than standardizing.
