We Buy Bottles

Sell your E.H. Taylor.

The Colonel's line runs from grocery-store shelves to bottles that stop conversations, and knowing which end yours came from is our job, not yours. If there's a tube in the closet with Taylor's name on it, photograph it and let us do the sorting.

How we price E.H. Taylor.

No brand we buy splits harder than Taylor. The standard line is in production today, while the discontinued specials will never be made again, and proof, tube condition, and where collector demand sits this season stretch the gap further. Which release you're holding is ninety percent of the answer, and the label tells us in one photo.

So the number comes from a conversation, not a chart. Send the label and the tube through the form, with the words printed under the Colonel's name in frame, and we'll quote your specific release. Free, and it commits you to nothing.

Taylors on the record.

Two of the scarcest Taylors ever bottled have come through, a Four Grain and a Warehouse C Tornado Surviving, both paid for without drama. That's the treatment your bottle would get.

The Taylor questions, answered.

Which E.H. Taylor releases are actually rare?

The ones Buffalo Trace stopped making. Four Grain, Amaranth, Cured Oak, Marriage, Old Fashioned Sour Mash, and the Warehouse C bottlings, Tornado Surviving above all, were limited runs that ended for good, and they're the Taylors collectors hunt. Small Batch, Single Barrel, Barrel Proof, and the Rye are ongoing production, which is exactly why they sit in a different category.

Do you buy E.H. Taylor Small Batch or Single Barrel?

Often, as part of a collection, and the honest answer is that it depends on the month. The standard line moves with the market: some seasons we're taking Small Batch and Single Barrel gladly, other times the math doesn't work, and it changes faster than a website should pretend to track. Bring them to us inside your list and we'll tell you where the market has them right now. That's a thirty-second call, and it's free.

How much does the tube matter?

For Taylor, more than for any other brand on this site. The line has shipped in those canisters from the beginning, collectors expect the pair, and a limited release with its tube in clean shape is simply an easier bottle to place. A missing tube is not fatal on the truly scarce releases, but if you have it, keep it with the bottle, dents and all.

I can't tell which Taylor I have. What do you need from me?

Three photos: the full front label, the neck band, and the tube if one exists. The release name sits in small print beneath the Taylor branding and we can read it from a decent phone shot. You don't need to transcribe or research anything; identifying the release is the first step of every quote we write.
