Buffalo Trace Distillery Releases Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C
Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the release of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C, a one-time-only special release bourbon that’s composed of barrels aged for ten years on the 2nd and 5th floors of Warehouse C.
Warehouse C was built by Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. in 1885 and is described by Buffalo Trace as the barrel warehouse he was most proud of; the final piece in his “model distillery.”
Official tasting notes describes Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C as having aromas of “cherry cobbler with rum sauce and a hint of oak”, followed by notes of “cherry cola, vanilla bean and toasted oak” on the palate, and a “long and lingering” finish with “a hint of spearmint, coffee, raisin bread and anise.”
Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C is Bottled-in-Bond at 100 proof (50% ABV) and will be available starting June 2021 in highly limited quantities at a suggested retail price of $69.99 per 750 mL bottle.

Where do people buy this?
At auction for ten times the selling price because you’ll never see it in any store.
Unfortunately, what Richard D said is spot on. The only way you’re going to come across a bottle at SRP is via a store raffle, or if one of your local shops is allocated a bottle and really, really, really likes you.
Just saw a bottle for $3k on the shelf. Madness.
