Taylor was a bourbon brand first sold in 1887. It was produced famously at the “Castle” distillery in Woodford County starting the same year. In 1935 the brand and distillery were acquired by National Distillers, who continued to produce it until ND was acquired by Beam in 1987. In 2009 the brand was purchased by Sazerac, and is now produced at Buffalo Trace. See also the National Distillers timeline for more info.

Old Taylor Bonded, 4/5qt, 1915-1919

This bottle is particularly interesting for its remarkable resemblance to the current bottles of Old Taylor, right down to the tube it was packaged in.

This is a pint sold at a drug store during prohibition. These bottles came in cardboard boxes to make them more presentable at the pharmacy.
