Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., commonly known as E.H. Taylor, was a pioneering figure in American whiskey history. Born in 1830, Taylor was an influential bourbon distiller and entrepreneur during the 19th century. He played a significant role in shaping the bourbon industry, advocating for higher quality standards and innovative distillation techniques. In 1887, Taylor built the Old Taylor Distillery in Kentucky, which became known for its exceptional bourbon. Taylor’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship led to the distillery’s success, and he is often credited with popularizing the use of the sour mash process in bourbon production. Despite changes in ownership and closures over the years, Taylor’s legacy lives on through his contributions to the bourbon industry and the enduring reputation of his namesake bourbons, which are still highly sought after by enthusiasts today.
