    Albert Bacon Blanton

    In the winter of 1881, Albert Bacon Blanton was born into one of the first families of bourbon history. At the age of sixteen, he started work in the Distillery as an office boy and fast became a leading pioneer in the development of bourbon. From the time he was made company president in 1921 until his retirement in 1952, his Distillery expanded from 44 to 144 buildings to become the largest Distillery of its day. During that period Colonel Blanton created his very special and limited supply of bourbon - his private reserve - handpicked and stoRed in what now is known as the famous Warehouse H. Although Colonel Blanton died in the spring of 1959, his legacy lives. Introduced in 1984, Blanton's namesake bourbon was the first ever Single Barrel Bourbon sold commercially. The Single Barrel Bourbon is the first of its kind..

    Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr.

    Taylor was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1830. Orphaned at an early age, he was raised in New Orleans where he attended Boyer's French School. The well-educated youth moved back to Kentucky, where E. H. Taylor, Sr., adopted him. In Frankfort, Taylor attended B. B. Sayer's Academy, which later moved to Louisville. Following in the footsteps of his adopted father, Taylor became involved in banking where he aided in the organization of several distilleries. Through his banking, Taylor became personally acquainted with many of the early whiskey makers.

    In 1870, Taylor purchased a small distillery located in Leestown, on the banks of the Kentucky River where distilling and whiskey storage had been taking place on the site 1787. Taylor equipped the distillery with a modern boiler and immediately began to renovate, upgrade and modernize the plant. Some of his improvements were copper fermentation tanks, new grain grinding equipment, column stills and modern buildings to house them. He was responsible for the patented mash technique, which separated the solids from the slop, providing a thick creamy liquid rather than an inert mass for the sour mash. Because of his innovations, his systematic approach to whiskey making, his dedication to quality and his constant battle to protect bourbon and keep its name from being applied to inferior whiskies, Taylor is known as íë_íë_íëí‰The Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry.íë_íë_?

    During this period Taylor christened the distillery - O.F.C., its first official name. Taylor became involved in several other distilleries in Franklin and Woodford County. Because of money problems, Taylor left O.F.C., which became the property of George T. Stagg. Taylor continued to innovate and be involved in Bourbon until his death in 1923. It is said that E. H. Taylor, Jr. was the last of a breed. A Bourbon Aristocrat who linked the íë_íë_íëí‰classic and modern eras of Bourbon making."
