There are moments in bourbon hunting when time seems to pause—just long enough for your hand to reach across the oak, past the pour, to touch history itself. This Old Taylor Bottled-in-Bond didn’t just find its way into our glass by chance. It found its way into our story.

First distilled under the watchful eye of Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., a man who championed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this label reminds us that bourbon is more than a spirit—it’s a legacy of standards, struggle, and Southern pride. 100 proof. Bonded by law. Held in reverence.

A bottle like this doesn’t just sit on the shelf—it calls to you. Grabs you. Demands your attention.

Thanks to the team at for keeping bottles like this alive for the rest of us to stumble upon, sip by sip, memory by memory.

Savoring something truly special tonight — a pour of Bootleg Series Vol. VI, aged 12 years and finished in Spanish Limestone Cigar Barrels.

This whiskey tells a rich story of patience, craftsmanship, and artistry — from the slow aging process to the choice of rare finishing barrels. Every sip carries the weight of time and the spirit of innovation. I’m incredibly grateful to have received this sample — thank you!

Would love to invite to come share more about the making of this masterpiece on the podcast. Your story deserves a deeper pour!

Barrel-strength stories. Masterfully finished bourbon.

In our next episode of Beneath the Char, we sit down with Royce Neeley and Jackie Zykan to explore the spirit—and the story—behind Hidden Barn’s Madeira Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

This bottle is bold and expressive, finished in first-use Madeira barrels to bring out lush layers of dried fruit, toasted spice, and oak-driven depth. But the real magic? It’s the people behind the pour.

Tune in as we go beneath the char with Royce and Jackie to talk craft, collaboration, and carving a new path in Kentucky bourbon.

You won’t want to miss this one.
