E.H. Taylor Jr. BiB 2026: The Man Who Passed the Law, $69.99

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. lobbied Congress to pass the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the first consumer protection law in American history. His label just cleared federal TTB review at the statutory 100 proof and is distributing nationally this week at $69.99 MSRP. No lottery. No pre-allocation at most accounts. Each bottle traces to one barrel, one distilling season, one federally bonded warehouse position, bottled without dilution. The colonel's name is the argument, and it's on your shelf right now.
