Description
The Story Behind the Label
E.H. Taylor Amaranth honors Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., widely considered the father of the modern bourbon industry, with one of the most experimental releases in the acclaimed Colonel E.H. Taylor lineup. Buffalo Trace incorporated amaranth, an ancient grain rarely used in American whiskey production, into the mash bill to create a genuinely one-of-a-kind expression — a bottle collectors buy E.H. Taylor Amaranth for as one of the rarest and most unusual releases in the entire bourbon category.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Architecture
The glass shows a deep, amber-gold hue with a rich, viscous pour. The nose opens with caramel, toasted grain, and a distinctive earthy, nutty character not typically found in standard bourbon mash bills. On the palate, expect a complex balance of brown sugar, warm spice, and unusual grain-forward earthiness, carried through to a long, structured finish with lingering oak and spice. It’s a bourbon built for exploration — best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its genuinely unique amaranth-driven profile.
Allocation & Rarity Context
Demand for E.H. Taylor Amaranth remains exceptionally high given its status as one of the most experimental and limited releases within the broader Colonel E.H. Taylor series. Collectors who buy E.H.

Our vault sources directly through authenticated distribution channels to ensure full bottle legitimacy in a category with elevated counterfeit risk.
